🇺🇸 AMERICANS ARE DODGING BOOKS—SMARTPHONES ARE THE CULPRIT
Americans are reading less, and surprise, surprise: your smartphone is the prime suspect!
Constant notifications and dopamine-packed content make books feel like the broccoli of entertainment.
Gen Z doesn’t even see reading as “important” anymore.
And it’s not just phones. Schools are assigning snippets instead of novels, so kids aren’t building reading stamina.
Add in endless streaming and social media, and it’s a perfect storm of distraction.
The result? We’re skipping the brain-boosting, stress-reducing, life-lengthening benefits of books.
Want to change that? Put the phone down and pick up a book. Your brain will thank you.
