What's the use of reading?
The benefits of reading books
1) Reading broadens your horizons. Books are a treasure trove of diverse knowledge. Reading, we begin to better understand this world, people, events. Self-development and self-improvement, history and fantasy, fantasy and adventure, detectives and humorous stories - friends, genres of books a huge number, and almost in each of these genres you can find something useful for themselves. Go for it!
2) Reading develops imagination. Books allow us to find ourselves in another world or to think about something we didn't think about before. We fill our imagination with what the author writes about, visualizing what is happening in the book. Thanks to regular reading, we develop a very rich imagination: you can imagine anything and everything. And such an opportunity is very useful, because it significantly increases the level of creativity and develops non-standard thinking.
Interesting fact: the influence of reading books on the ability to think creatively is not quite unambiguous. For example, the German philosopher Arthur Schopenhauer believes that excessive reading is not only useless, but also harmful. The reason for this, according to the philosopher, is that the reader receives other people's thoughts through books and learns them worse than if he or she had reached it on his or her own. In addition, the reader's mind is weakened by the habit of searching for ideas in external sources, not in his own head.
A rather unusual opinion, which nevertheless has the right to life. But still, friends, smart people usually like to read, but stupid people don't read at all. This simple tendency is quite obvious.
3) Reading helps to communicate with people. A regular reader is not only literate, but also has well-pumped speech skills that allow him to express his thoughts clearly, beautifully and easily. Reading books makes you an interesting conversation partner. You can make a particularly strong impression on those people who do not read enough.
4) Reading makes us smarter. Reading develops thinking: when we read books, we think actively to understand the idea of the work. As you know, dear readers of Sisoj, what is not used is atrophied (for uselessness). Conversely, what is constantly being used is growing and developing. That's why we become smarter and more educated with regular brain tension by reading books.
5) Reading develops memory. Keeping track of the key thoughts and/or the subject line of the book leads to improved memory. Again, everything is simple: memory is used - memory is pumped.
6) Reading makes us younger. It has long been proven that the youth of the body depends on the youth of the brain. In other words, if the brain is decrepit, the body will fit. And since we actively use and develop our brains when reading books, it has a positive effect on the overall state of the body. Read and be young, my friends!
7) Reading improves concentration. The benefit of reading is that during this process we concentrate on the content of the work. Now more and more people are experiencing problems with concentration, so the ability to concentrate while reading a book will be very useful.
8) Reading increases vocabulary. Well, that's understandable - when you read, you often encounter words that you don't use in everyday speech. By reading regularly, you are greatly increasing your vocabulary. This, in turn, eliminates situations where you cannot express your thoughts. No more "Er...", "Man, I forgot how it is..." - you'll find it much easier to find the right words thanks to the rich vocabulary.
9) Reading makes us more confident. Now in communication we can demonstrate deep knowledge of the subject, our education, erudition in various fields. As a result, we unwittingly begin to behave more confidently and in a more collected manner. In addition, the acceptance of our knowledge by those around us has a positive impact on self-esteem.
10) Reading helps to rest. The technosphere puts people under constant stress when even at home, after work, the person remains tense. Reading books is a great way to relax and have a good time. Moreover, reading books is a wonderful holiday. After a decent book, you'll definitely experience a spiritual uplift and get some food for your mind.
