Happy February! Here are a few resources that have caught my eye (and ear) recently. Below you'll find:
  • An article on how reading literature increases empathy.
  • A podcast on introversion.
  • An article on the dangers of smartphone addiction.

Article:
In How Reading Rewires Your Brain for More Intelligence and Empathy, Derek Beres writes that “Novel reading is a great way to practice being human.” He makes a great argument for reading more! Time to visit the library.
 
Podcast:
Introversion and extraversion can be commonly misunderstood. Take a listen to Personality Hacker Episode #82 in which the discussion is all about introverts and how they experience the world. This may help you know yourself better, or that introvert in your life better.
 
Article:
In Keep Your Head Up: How Smartphone Addiction Kills Manners and Moods, Adam Popescu draws attention to the psychological, social, and physical costs and dangers of looking at your smartphone too much.
