E190: How Journaling Deepens Reading: The Nudge Notebook

On this episode of the Get Lit(erate). podcast, I’m talking about a practice that sets restorative reading apart from ‘regular’ reading and could potentially be the one thing that changes your life: the nudge notebook.

Come listen as I share a simple, yet powerful, definition of restorative reading, discuss the key elements that differentiate it from a ‘regular’ reading life and invite you to consider paying attention to, tracking and acting on the nudges you receive from the pages. 

You’ll find the show notes for the episode with links to all of the books and resources mentioned right here: https://www.alitlife.com/2025/08/05/how-journaling-deepens-reading-the-nudge-notebook/
