Unlocking the Potential of Reading Books
“Is it true that reading books can change your life, including your way of thinking, personality, and attitude?”
This question sometimes appears in my mind. Never have I thought that reading books could have such a powerful impact on society’s development. Many people say that “a book is a window to the world”. They believe that it will open your view towards the world that you have never known before. Is it 100 percent true?
Technically, it is true. Books are one of the main sources of information. Not all people have access to travel around the world, looking for information. Therefore, one of the best options they have to gain information is through any books they read.

Intelligence
- Drill your brain: Reading books is a great way to exercise your brain and mind. Reading can help the brain maintain its ability to perform its functions flawlessly.
- Enhance your writing skills: A well-written book can be an inspiration for you in composing beautiful and interesting words.
- Help you concentrate better: People who read books tend to have good concentration since they are trained to focus more on the books.
Health
- Prevent Alzheimer’s: The more you read, the more vocabulary you collect in your mind. It means that reading books can help you to train your brain to memorise a lot of words.
- Reduce your stress levels: You might get tired of your routine activities, such as working, studying at school, or even having problems with your colleagues. A book can lure the brain to forget the burden for a moment so that your stress can be reduced.
- Fix your sleep-wake pattern: If we are used to reading books before going to bed, sooner or later our brain will get used to it as it acts as an alarm for the body, signalling that it is time for bed. This will help you get a good night’s sleep and wake up fresh in the morning. Read More…
