We believe in the transformative power of books. That’s why we created “Be Well, Read Well,” our seasonal book showcase curated by Mather Institute. Check out the first six books our researchers recommend, and why they love them. Plus, did you know reading can help you #AgeWell? Studies suggest just 30 minutes of reading can reduce stress as effectively as 30 minutes of yoga. Happy reading! #InstituteInsights #ReadingSeries
