Get Your Summer Reading Prescription With Emely Rumble
Update: 2025-07-01
Description
This week on Live Happy Now, host Paula Felps sits down with Emely Rumble — licensed clinical social worker, bibliopsychotherapist, and author of Bibliotherapy in the Bronx — to explore the healing power of stories. Emely shares how fiction, poetry, and even children’s books can help us reflect, process emotions, and build empathy in ways traditional self-help books can’t. With summer reading season in full swing, she explains how to create your own “book prescription” for better mental health and reconnect with the joy of reading — not as a task, but as a tool for transformation.
In this episode, you’ll learn:
- What bibliotherapy is — and why it works.
- How engaging with fiction can help us heal.
- How to start your own bibliotherapy practice.
