5 Inspiring Quotes from 5 Books on Gratitude & Appreciation

1. Gratitude by Oliver Sacks:
“In the twilight of my days, I’ve come to see that gratitude is the true measure of life—a quiet, constant acknowledgment of every precious moment that has enriched my soul.”


2. Love for Imperfect Things by Haemin Sunim
“Embracing our imperfections is the first step toward gratitude; by learning to love ourselves just as we are, we open our hearts to the beauty woven through every moment.”


3. One Thousand Gifts by Ann Voskamp
“Every day offers a thousand tiny miracles, and when we dare to notice them, gratitude transforms our very existence into a tapestry of wonder.”


4. Simple Abundance by Sarah Ban Breathnach
“When we slow down to savor a sunrise, a smile, or a whispered word of love, we discover that true abundance isn’t measured in possessions but in the daily practice of gratitude.”


5. A Short Guide to a Happy Life by Anna Quindlen
“Life is made of moments, small pieces of silver amidst long stretches of tedium. It would be wonderful if they came to us unsummoned, but particularly in lives as busy as the ones most of us lead now, that won’t happen. We have to teach ourselves now to live, really live … to love the journey, not the destination.”


Is it true that CEOs read 50 books a year?

You’ve probably heard the claim that CEOs read 50 books a year—but is it actually true? Let’s break it down.

1. How Many Books Do CEOs Really Read?
Multiple sources suggest that top executives read far more than the average person. A Fast Company survey of 500 CEOs reportedly found that the typical CEO reads about 60 books per year, which is roughly five books each month. By comparison, the average American reads only about 12 books per year, with a median of just 4 books annually often quoted in business circles as evidence that “leaders are readers.” In fact, N2Growth advisors note that Fortune 500 CEOs tend to read 4 to 5 books a month, totaling 48 to 60 books annually. While the exact ns by individual (depending on schedule, industry, and personal preferences), it’s clear that CEOs dedicate significant time to reading, highlighting the value they place on continuous learning.


2. Why Do CEOs Prioritize Reading?
Reading is a key habit for many successful leaders because it helps them stay informed, sharpen decision-making, and gain fresh perspectives. CEOs often turn to books on leadership, strategy, and innovation to grow their knowledge base. Books offer them access to insights from experts across various fields, enabling them to make better decisions and lead their companies effectively.

For example, Bill Gates is known to read around 50 books per year. He credits reading as his main way of learning new things and keeping up with the latest ideas in science, technology, and public health . Similarly, Warren Buffettto spend 5-6 hours daily reading, which includes business reports and financial news in addition to books.


3. Is Reading 50 Boal for Success?
While reading 50 books a year may be impressive, it’s not a strict requirement for success. The important thing is continuous learning. Successful CEOs prioritize lifelong learning—whether through books, articles, or podcasts—to remain adaptable and innovative.


So, while 50 books a year might be impressive, the real success lies in the commitment to lifelong learning.

📖Are we missing out by reading alone?

Reading opens doors to new worlds and ideas, but when we journey through these pages alone, are we missing out on deeper understanding and joy? Sharing our thoughts with others can enhance our appreciation of books and make the experience even more fulfilling.

Studies have shown the benefits of sharing our reading experiences. Research indicates that people who discuss what they’ve read have a better grasp and retention of the material (Murphy et al., 2009). Additionally, reading and talking about literary fiction can improve our ability to understand others’ emotions and perspectives (Kidd & Castano, 2013).

Participating in reading groups also leads to increased social connectedness and a sense of community (The Reading Agency, 2015). Shared reading can reduce symptoms of depression and improve overall mental health (Billington et al., 2010).


🪧That’s why we started a group for book lovers—to recommend, discuss, and connect over our shared love of reading. We’d love to have you with us at https://t.me/readgr!

🌜How reading before bed can improve sleep quality

Did you know that 68% of Americans struggle with sleep at least once a week? Scientists have found an unexpected solution: reading before bed. Here's why it works:

1. Stress reduction
A 2009 study at the University of Sussex found that reading can reduce stress levels by up to 68%. This stress reduction helps lower cortisol production, which may facilitate easier sleep onset.

2. Improved sleep onset
Studies have highlighted that unlike electronic devices, reading physical books before bed does not interfere with melatonin production. This helps in establishing a sleep-promoting pre-bed routine.

3. Enhanced sleep quality
Engaging in calming pre-sleep activities, like reading, has been associated with more restful and uninterrupted sleep. Reading can contribute to a more relaxing bedtime routine, which promotes better sleep quality.


For best results, consider establishing a consistent bedtime routine. Aim to read for 20-30 minutes in a quiet, comfortable environment with soft lighting.

📚Can reading books become unhealthy?

Reading voraciously feeds the mind, but may starve other aspects of life. Like any passion, it requires balance. Too many chapters can mean missed real-life stories, strained eyes, and knowledge without experience.

🔖Here are some ideas for keeping reading habits healthy:
1. Set reasonable time limits for reading sessions
2. Engage critically with the material, not just passive consumption
3. Mix up activities - reading shouldn't be the only thing on the agenda
4. Remember to move and stretch regularly
5. Discuss books with others — it adds a social element to reading, for that, you can join our discussion group: @offtopicclub
