Stck.me masterclass: Importance of Building and Sustaining a Reading Habit

Project Bibliotherapy is a startup by two curious lifelong readers (Nitin Goel and Nandini Swaminathan) who quit the corporate grind to get people to read more, and read better. They do this through the 'Readers of 42', their community of 100+ members who want to invest in building or enhancing a reading habit. Members receive curated reads daily, exclusive zines with handpicked recommendations, get access to the Project's upcoming publications, and can be part of one-of-a-kind experiences. Their 42 Good Reads of the Internet zine has been showcased at the Jaipur Literature Festival, Spoken Fest by Kommune, the Bombay Underground Zine Fest, and the Bangalore Literature Festival.

They are currently on a quest to find their first 10,000 'Readers of 42'. Use the Support button to sign up: http://bibliotherapy.stck.me/profile and explore their archives as well.
