The first reason why reading is so beneficial in our lives is that a book furnishes relaxation to our mind and soul. This happens when you enjoy the lecture and you start “feeling” the book and stop focusing on the words; that is instantly relaxing. So, since stress is often major concern for a lot of people.
Secondly, reading books can help you to develop your verbal abilities. Although it doesn’t always make you a better communicator, those who read tend to have a more varied range of words to express how they feel and to get their point across.
It also improves your focus and concentration. Sitting down with a book takes long periods of focus and concentration, which at first is hard to do. Being fully involved in a book implies closing off the outside world and diving yourself into the text, which over time will strengthen your attention. Also reading books is important because it significantly improves your imagination, you are only limited by what you can imagine, and the worlds described in books; for example when reading a written description of an event or a place, your mind is responsible for creating that image in your head, instead of having the image placed in front of you.
