Why It Matters
A book behaves differently. You choose what to open and what to leave alone, and you can stop. Nothing loads a headline you did not ask for. For a lot of people that control is the whole point, especially in the early weeks when everything else feels decided by someone else.
Organizing information as questions helps too. You can take one at a time, at whatever pace suits the day, and come back when you want more.
They are also useful to hand to family, who often want to understand and do not know how to ask.
