When you’re sitting at home wondering, “Where do I go today?” Pick up a book and see where it takes you. Books are the perfect way to travel without moving. Not just to places, but through people’s minds, their thought process, their experiences, and most importantly, their journey. Sometimes you can relate to their experience, sometimes not. But their journey, at that moment, becomes yours.

You may not be an avid reader but reading can help you realize that it can save you when you feel lost in life. It is an escape from your reality and it takes you places you never imagined you’d go to. You start to visualize places, people, and situations. You enter a completely different and new world, leaving your life and worries behind.women’s human hair wigs

Most people prefer watching a movie over reading a book without realizing what they’re missing. They’re happy with a condensed version of a whole realm.

Reading not only helps understand what the character is going through but also his mental state. It also shows how he’s affected by a situation or an experience and how he overcomes it. Because at that moment, you are the character. Books are not just a lifesaver, it’s a soul saver. We carry the fictional experience we obtained from these books and constantly try to relate to our real lives in some way.

If this doesn’t convince you to start your journey with books today, here are a few benefits of reading:

It makes you empathetic:

Understanding the emotion that the character goes through can build up our empathy. It can help us, the reader, understand what the other person is going through and feel their emotions like it’s our own. As a result, our emotional range expands which helps us to be empathetic and feel sympathy for others even in worldly events.

It expands your vocabulary:

It’s no secret that reading helps builds vocabulary. This is true, especially for non-native English speakers. Consequently, having a wide array of vocabulary also helps in improving communication and writing skills.

Helps you relax:

Reading a book after a long, tiring and stressful day helps rid the stress, at least temporarily. Immersing yourself in a book takes your mind off of your worldly matters and takes you to a land of imagination.

Improves memory:

Reading requires you to remember small details mentioned throughout the book. Consistent reading continuously prompts our brain to remember even the tiniest of details. This helps with improving overall memory power.

Helps increase focus:

If you’ve had to re-read a page because you weren’t paying attention, you’re not alone. Every once in a while we lose focus and get distracted. But that can be fixed by building a habit of reading as it helps to increase focus and concentration.

Increases knowledge:

Every time you read a book, you retain information. And maybe you remember only a little bit. Nevertheless, it’s information that helps increase and grow your bank of knowledge that can only be beneficial to you.

Improves imagination:

Existing as a character in the author’s world, you tend to create your own version of the author’s world. Hence, more exposure to different worlds activates and prompts the creativity within our brain, giving life to our own world.

Some must-read books to include in your list are:

To Kill a Mockingbird – Harper Lee

Harry Potter – J. K. Rowling

Pride and Prejudice – Jane Austen

The Great Gatsby – F Scott Fitzgerald

The Dairy of a Young Girl – Anne Frank

The Kite Runner – Khaled Hosseini

The Alchemist – Paulo Coelho
