The benefits of reading books

You definitely often heard that reading books brings a lot of benefits. But did you actually ponder carefully about the real profit of reading a book? So let’s discover and explore the meaning of reading together, whether you like novels or non-fiction books.

I/ Increase memories and intelligent

According to a study published in the journal "Psychology of Reading," people who read books are more intelligent and have better memories than people who do not read. They also score higher on tests of general intelligence and mental aptitude. There are several reasons why reading can increase your intelligence and make you a better learner. 

First of all, books are educational. When you read a book, you learn new information that you might not have learned elsewhere. This provides you with a richer understanding of the subject you study, which can help you improve your grades in school or improve your performance on your job. As you continue to read more books, your knowledge of the subject will expand, which will also make you smarter. Another way that reading can improve your intelligence is by exposing you to different ideas. When you are reading a book, your mind is exposed to many different concepts and new ideas that you can apply to your way of thinking. This will help you develop critical thinking skills and improve your problem-solving skills. The more you read, the smarter you will become. 

II/ Release stress

Books are also important because they provide an escape. Fiction books can be inspiring and entertaining and help you forget about your problems for a while. When you do this regularly, you will find it much easier to deal with your daily stress and frustration. Reading books can also increase your attention span and improve your concentration. Research has shown that reading a book can relax your muscles and reduce stress hormone levels in your brain. This can leave you feeling calm and peaceful while also improving your mood and reducing your anxiety levels. 

III/ Increase creativity

Moreover, reading can make you more creative. Studies have shown that when you read fiction, you will think differently than you would if you were reading nonfiction. This exercise helps to stimulate your brain and build new connections between neurons, making it easier for you to think creatively and solve problems. The more you read, the more your cognitive abilities will improve and you will be better equipped to deal with the challenges of your life.

IV/ Increase ability of solving problem

Reading increases the ability of thinking deep, flexibly and multi-direction. Also, when you dive deep in the pages of books, you might learn the experience of characters or authors from the story. And because reading also trains your other skills, reading generally enhances your problem-solving abilities.

V/ Improve analytical skills

There are different ways in which reading fictional books will help you improve your analytical skills. The brain is constantly trying to sort and organize information and reading simply makes it better at it. While following the story’s plot or imagining the possible ending, you indirectly train yourself to organize, sort, manage, conceptualize, visualize and manage information. Research and data analysis to fill in the book gaps enable the reader to have the empirical ability of analysis at all times.

VI/ Expanse your knowledge

     Obviously, the more you read non-fiction books the more information you know. Whether you focus on economics or history books,  they will provide you with accurate information or allow you to develop practical skills, things you can use later in life.

VII/ A better health

When we read, we improve our empathy and memory. You will feel better and become more positive in life.  Science indicates that reading can help with depression, reduce stress, and minimize the chances of getting Alzheimer’s disease later in life. As you might already know, reading improves the quality of sleep by keeping your eyes away from blue light. On top of this, reading has been found to decrease heart rate and blood pressure.

VIII/ More tolerant and easier to empathize

When reading the character’s thoughts and feelings, it becomes clear what it’s like to be a part of their story and learn to live like another person with a whole different view of life than yours. The reactions you have to certain events in a story mostly vary from those of the character’s. This is great for the reader as it lets them experience the emotions of the other person. Reading a book helps develop empathy as your brain directly learns how it feels to be in someone else’s shoes. Not only that, but exposing yourself to different life stories can help you better understand the struggles of other people and project your knowledge in your everyday life.

IX/ Improve imagination

    While reading, your brain has to think and imagine what that situation looks like in reality. You picture the entire novel clearly identifying all the characters as the storyline and this stimulates your brain. Imagination consists of all things that do not involve our past or our present.
