Reading Improves Brain Function

A person who reads everyday gets better at it over time.  It can even improve memory and critical thinking skills. And activities like reading have been linked to a lower risk of Alzheimer’s disease.

Reading Reduces Stress

Modern life is stressful – period. Reading may reduce stress more than walking, listening to music or playing games. When people read a really engrossing book it actively engages their imagination, which in turn distracts from daily stresses 

Reading Can Improve Your State of Mind

People who are well read tend to be more empathetic and have higher self-esteem. When we read about other people it introduces the idea that people are human. We’re all different, we have flaws, things are not always perfect and that’s okay.
