about breadshelf

our philosophy

Very simply, we want people to read more.

Technology benefits us in so many ways. However, it has clearly disrupted our education and entertainment habits. Various studies have concluded that we are reading less and thinking shorter:

• People are reading less
• Attention spans are shorter
• Technology use can cause addictive tendencies

We want to reverse these trends.

our name

"breadshelf" is a name with multiple meanings that represent our philosophy:

• First, it contains the word "read". Reading is what we're all about.
• Second, "shelf" - you're building up a collection of knowledge, such as you do with books on your bookshelf.
• Last, "bread" is a food that provides basic sustenance for the body. We believe reading is bread for the mind.

our recommendations

These are books that we believe are important for one reason or another. We update these monthly.
