Books Are the New Luxury

In this episode, we explore the fascinating reemergence of books as symbols of status and intellectual engagement. From the viral 'Book in Pocket Challenge' led by Jacob Elordi to the booming sales of classics like Dostoevsky's 'White Nights,' books have reclaimed their cultural significance in 2025. We delve into the role of social media, celebrity endorsements, and the shift towards valuing knowledge and mindfulness over materialism. Join us as we discuss the evolution of books from elite literary salons to modern digital hubs, and their enduring power in shaping society and individual identity.
