How to reduce the "Bounce Rate"?

Bounce rate depends hugely on the type of traffic. Stumbleupon can generate tons of traffic, but it will always have an extremely high bounce rate. It also depends on which page people are landing on.

Looking at bounce rate by traffic sources can give you a good idea of where to focus your efforts in order to locate ways of promoting your site that will reach the people who are most interested in exploring it thoroughly.

If people are finding your site's homepage through an organic search, and are bouncing (leaving), that's a bad sign. But I would not be concerned about a high bounce rate if your traffic is coming through a site like stumbleupon.

It's also helpful to look at the bounce rate by content. Look at which pages have a high bounce rate. If those pages are isolated articles that are not as closely related to the main subject matter of your site, I wouldn't worry about a high bounce rate. But if they're intended to be landing pages that draw in people to explore your site, then a high bounce rate on those pages is a sign that they aren't working, and that you need to work on those pages.
