Stolen Focus Why You Can't Pay Attention by Johann Hari

"The more novels you read, the better you were at reading other people’s emotions. It was a huge effect. This wasn’t just a sign that you were better educated—because reading nonfiction books, by contrast, had no effect on your empathy." - Johann Hari, Stolen Focus: Why You Can't Pay Attention—and How to Think Deeply Again
