What is the best way to read a book?




There are three common ways to read any book:
  • Audiobooks
  • e-books or kindle
  • Paperback


Audiobooks

Out of all the three, audiobooks are considered as the most distractive one. But the advantage of an audiobook is that you will able to hear the book even when you are working on something else. Yes, it is obvious that multi-tasking will give only divided attention to the book. But, it is better to drive a car with a book playing back than not listening to one.

e-books

e-books are the ones that are easily reachable. They have a similar benefit to reading a paperback. You will be easily able to download books from various sites. And mostly many registered websites provide e-books completely free. This means that you will have a pool of knowledge for free at your hands. Also, e-books are less costly when compared to paperbacks and hardcovers.

The con of using an e-book is that it does not give the feeling of holding a physical book and also it is quite difficult if you want to skim through the previous pages for any reference.

Paperbacks

Paperbacks are generally most useful when you are studying (In case of textbooks, or any learning materials). Paperbacks make it easy for you to skim back for reference. Papers are easy to flip back and forth. And also, paperbacks give you the feeling of reading a book and will also help you by spending some time away from all the gadgets.

My personal choice

I always prefer paperbacks over e-books and audiobooks because I love the feeling of holding the book and reading. I connect deeply with the book only if I read it in paperback. Also, the speed of my reading is high only in paperback. Whereas, e-books sometimes bore me and it feels like a chore to me. However, e-books are easily accessible and storable. 

The take away is that, you have to explore all the choices of reading a book and get comfortable in choosing the right type of reading format that is suitable for you.

Why is mental health important at Workplace?

Everyone has Mental Health. We talk as if mental health is needed only when people are depressed or sad. But, no mental health is essential to everyone every day. Just like you have physical health, you have mental health also. First, you need to clear in what mental health is to promote it or follow it. I have seen and worked in companies where so much importance is given to physical health. For example, the company that I worked for has a "Step - count" challenge where the person who has walked the highest steps in a day will be rewarded with gift vouchers. Mostly all the MNCs have Marathons and 10k, 20k running challenge. Also, every company has a sports team. I have been there done that. When it is good and healthy to give importance to employee's physical health; most companies miss out on the need to give importance to the employee's mental health. There is so little or no activities or programs that are conducted for Mental Wellness. I think no...
