There are plenty of ways you can benefit from reading. We look at our phones and tv’s entirely too much and don’t gain a lot from them. Heres a list of some advantages you can gain from reading books.

Learn new ideas

Books are a great way to learn new ideas. It can also refresh you on things you may have learned and forgotten about. Some ideas you learn from reading could be life changing and crucial for what you need. If you read a book about saving money you will learn a new idea of how to do so. This gives you an advantage by allowing you to implement new ideas in your lifestyle.

You become more empathetic

When reading a book you see a lot of different point of views. You see the authors point of view, and the characters point of view. You get to hear the hero’s side and the villains side as well. We get too involved in getting our point across instead of understanding others. When relating this to life it helps you analyze situations and see where someone is coming from. This gives you an advantage in relationships. It also will help you become more understanding.

Makes You Smarter

When you read, your brain is consistently comprehending words on a page to thoughts in your brain. The more you read, the easier it is to understand at a faster pace therefore increasing your comprehension skills as well as your memory. A good book can have you reading for hours, even days at a time so you can imagine how much of a difference you can make in your intelligence by just picking up a book.

Improves your Memory

Have you ever forgotten someone’s birthday? Or even worse an anniversary? Lucky for you reading can help improve your memory. Books comes with stories, lessons, and ideas you will try to retain. It’s like a brain workout for memory. You can’t learn from your mistakes if you can’t remember the situation or the lesson you learned. Another advantage from books.
