We do love people who is smart but not too much. Our inner sense feels the danger if the interlocutor is too smart.

Why Should We Read Books? Thoughts on Reading Books

When was the last time you read a book or an important magazine article? Do your daily reading habits consist of tweets, Facebook updates, or reading what's on the cereal box? So why do you think we should read books?


If you're one of the countless people who don't make a habit of reading regularly, there may be a deficiency.


Reading has significant benefits and here we are going to talk about 10 benefits of reading to get you started. Let's get started, why should we read a book?


1. Mental Arousal

Studies have shown that being mentally stimulated can slow (or possibly prevent) the progression of Alzheimer's and Dementia because keeping your brain active and engaged prevents it from losing strength.


Just like any other muscle in the body, the brain needs exercise to stay strong and healthy, so you can keep the phrase "use it or lose it" in mind. Doing puzzles and playing games such as chess have also been found to help with cognitive stimuli.


2. Reducing Stress

No matter how much stress you have at work, your personal relationships or countless other issues you encounter in daily life will disappear when you lose yourself in a book. A well-written novel can transport you to other realms, an engaging article will take away and capture your troubling thoughts, allowing tensions to subside and allow you to relax.


3. Information

Everything you read fills your head with new bits of information, and you never know when it will come in handy. The more knowledge you have, the better equipped you are to deal with any challenge you face.


Additionally, remember that if you find yourself in difficult situations, you may lose everything else – your job, your property, your money, your health – and your knowledge can never be taken away from you.


4. Expanding Your Vocabulary

Another answer to the question of why we should read books might be this: The more you read, the more words you gain, and they inevitably end up in your daily vocabulary.


Having the ability to speak clearly and well is a great help in any profession, and knowing that you can speak with confidence can greatly improve your self-esteem. It can even help your career, as those who read well, speak well, and are knowledgeable in a variety of subjects tend to get promoted faster (and more often) than those who don't have smaller vocabulary and literary awareness.


While learning a new language, reading texts in the language you intend to learn helps you learn new words and sentences by seeing them in context and increases your language learning capacity.


5. Memory Enhancement

When reading a book, you need to remember the characters, their background, goals, history and nuances. Surprisingly, each new memory you create creates new synapses (brain pathways) and strengthens existing ones, which helps short-term memory recall and stabilizes mood.


6. Stronger Analytical Thinking Skills

Have you ever read an amazing mystery novel and solved the mystery yourself before finishing the book? So, you've demonstrated critical and analytical thinking by noting all the details given and lining them up to identify the perpetrator.


The same ability to analyze details is also useful when it comes to criticizing the subject. If you have had the opportunity to discuss the book with others, you will be able to articulate your thoughts, as you take the time to really consider all the relevant points.


7. Improved Focus and Concentration

In today's technology world, individuals are expected to do more than one job at the same time. In a 5-minute time frame, the average person will spend time working on a task, answering emails, chatting with a few people, following Twitter, and watching their smartphone, causing their stress levels to rise and lower their productivity.


When you read a book, all your attention is focused there – the rest of the world just drifts away, and you can shut yourself off to every little detail other than that.


Try to read for 15-20 minutes before starting work, you'll be surprised how focused you are when you get to the office.


8. Better Writing Skills

This item is closely related to the expansion of your vocabulary. Reading habit has a significant impact on one's writing, as the benefits of reading, such as exposure to published, well-written work, and observing an author's rhythm, fluency, and writing styles will always affect your work.


Likewise, musicians influence each other, and painters use techniques created by previous masters, so writers learn how to make prose by reading other people's works.


9. Tranquility

Among the benefits of reading books, in addition to the relaxation that accompanies reading a good book, it is possible that the subject you are reading can bring tremendous inner peace and tranquility.


Reading spiritual texts can lower blood pressure and induce a tremendous sense of calm, while those who read self-learning books have been shown to help people suffering from certain mood disorders and mild mental illnesses.


10. Free Fun

For low-budget entertainment, you can visit your local library and savor the myriad of books available for free. Libraries have books on every subject imaginable, and you'll never run out of reading material as they stock up and buy new ones all the time.


If you live in an area that doesn't have a local library, or if you're mobility-impaired and can't get to one easily, you can find books in PDF or ePub format at most libraries and store them on your e-reader or tablet device. Now let's ask again, why do you think we should read a book?


There is a genre of reading for every literate person on the planet, classic literature, poetry, fashion magazines, biographies, religious texts, young adult books, self-learning guides, comic books, comics, and more.


Get away from your computer for a while, open a book and fill your soul. You can follow our articles for book suggestions 🙂
