92. Ella Berthoud and The Art of Mindful Reading

Bibliotherapist and author Ella Berthoud on solving life’s ailments through fiction, how it all started, and the merging of her passions: reading and painting Bio: Ella Berthoud is a bibliotherapist at the international School of Life, where she prescribes novels and fiction to readers for all life’s ailments, from shyness to having murderous thoughts… She is the author of The Art of Mindful Reading, she edited and contributed to 30-Second Literature: The 50 Most Important Forms, Genres and Styles, Each Explained in Half a Minute, and she co-authored The Novel Cure and The Story Cure with Susan Elderkin. Ella is also a talented artist, and she has found a wonderful way of merging this talent with her love for reading: she listens to audiobooks, allowing her paintings to take on the colours of the books she’s listening to.
