Celebrate “Read a Book Day”

As “Read a Book Day” approaches on September 6th, it’s a wonderful time to reflect on the importance of reading in today’s digital age. In a world filled with screens and distractions, celebrating the act of picking up a physical book allows us to disconnect, immerse ourselves in stories, and expand our horizons.

Meet Heather, our CEO, and founder at BlueHuki. Reading has been a key ingredient in her personal and professional growth. She shares the story about “Read a Book Day” and her favorite book.

1. “Read a Book Day” is coming up on September 6th. Why do you think it’s important to celebrate and promote reading in today’s digital age?
   Every business owner and professional should take time to get inspiration, recharge, and relax by reading books. In the age of AI, we should also support the creation of new and unique ideas.
   
2. As a woman in business, how do you find time to read amidst a busy schedule? How has reading contributed to your personal and professional growth?
   I’ll be honest—it’s hard to find time for everything! I’m in a Mastermind group where we read and recommend books together so I stay on track with them.
   
3. “Atomic Habits” by James Clear is your favorite book. What makes it so special to you, and how has it influenced your habits, both in your personal life and your professional career?
   As a former pharmaceutical sales rep who launched several new products, I know how hard habits are to break. My goal with this book was to form new habits not just to benefit me professionally but also to improve my daily stress levels. The book has a great step-by-step guide to making positive changes!

Reading not only empowers individuals but can also foster a reading culture within teams and organizations. For business owners and leaders, encouraging their employees to read can lead to greater creativity, critical thinking, and empathy—all vital traits for thriving in a competitive business landscape.

If you’re someone struggling to make time for reading, start with small increments of reading time each day and gradually build up the habit. Whether it’s a few pages before bedtime or during a lunch break, these moments of reading can profoundly impact our lives.
