Over 80 years ago, Davis Wallace founded the world's "Digest"—Reader's Digest, adding a "sanctuary" of truth, goodness, and beauty to the world. In his own words, Davis Wallace described Reader's Digest as "dedicated to enriching the lives of people of all ages and cultural backgrounds through various media forms, educating and entertaining them." Today, Reader's Digest is the most successful magazine in the world, with a monthly circulation exceeding 20 million copies, published in 19 languages and 48 editions, reaching 100 million readers, and generating over $2.5 billion in annual revenue, making it the largest monthly magazine in terms of circulation worldwide. It has a global influence and is considered a more influential journal for American elites than The New York Times and Time. Reader's Digest is known for its warmth and humanity, using "the enduring and human aspects to overcome the trendy and fleeting." Simply put, Reader's Digest is an "angel" promoting truth, goodness, and beauty. Reader's Digest never pursues the fleeting "hot topics" of the moment; it always upholds the "radiance of humanity." Founder Wallace believed, "Only human aspects can move people's hearts; even in a materialistic society, people still hold reverence for something—namely, the seemingly simple and pure truth, goodness, and beauty. It is truth, goodness, and beauty that save and balance the human heart." Reader's Digest holds the power of truth, goodness, and beauty within its simplicity, continuously warming readers' hearts and soothing their souls in the midst of humanistic care.
