This Is How Books Shape Who We Become

This video dives into the profound impact books have on personal development, both positively and negatively, at various stages of life. Drawing from Marcel Proust's idea of finding oneself in literature, the video shares personal stories of how books shaped the speaker's life—from childhood favorites to later struggles with depression that led to disillusionment with reading. The speaker explores how our responses to books, including our dislikes, play a role in shaping who we become. The video highlights the importance of reading diverse voices and making intentional book choices to encourage positive growth. Suggestions like reading outside your comfort zone and maintaining a reading journal are offered to foster self-discovery. Ultimately, the video argues that books are a powerful tool for personal growth and understanding the world, contrasting this with the negative impact of online reading.
