Why can't we read anymore ?
Manage episode 522628318 series 3650582
In this episode, we dive into a question almost everyone quietly asks themselves: why is reading becoming so hard? We explore it from every angle ; from the history of how humans first started reading, to how our brains evolved with storytelling, to the modern distractions that pull our attention in a hundred different directions...
We talk about how technology reshaped our reading habits, how the paradox of choice leaves us overwhelmed before we even pick up a book, and why deep reading feels almost impossible in an age of endless notifications. We even look at the cultural shifts, the psychology behind attention, and how reading used to be a slow, communal act rather than a productivity goal.
This episode isn’t a preachy READ MORE lecture; it’s a journey. A colorful one. A mix of history, a bit of science, personal reflection, and honest conversation about the state of our minds today. If you’ve ever wondered why you can binge a 3 hour podcast but struggle to read 3 pages, this one will make you feel seen 😊
