About this listen

Did you know you can be prescribed a book? Joining me on this week’s episode is Lucy Pearson, a bibliotherapist and journalist known for starting The Literary Edit. Lucy is quite literally a human bookstore with a wealth of knowledge and passion for literature.

Lucy explains all about bibliotherapy, its origins, how it works, and why it works. She also shares how she got into prescribing books as well as some of the books she regularly recommends to clients. We also discuss reading trends and habits, the pros and cons of self-help books, the digitalisation of books and how reading culture has evolved. It’s a truly fascinating insight into the power of books and words.
