This episode explores Neil Postman’s argument that different forms of media shape the way we think—and why reading is unique in making us better thinkers, speakers, and decision-makers. We’ll break down how books train the mind for deeper reasoning, challenge our biases, and help us engage with the world in a way that tweets and TikToks never could.
