The Benefits of Reading




What exercise is to the body, reading is to the mind!

Books are there to change your life. It opens up a whole new world of imagination, challenges, inspiration and motivation. Reading makes you think.

David Shenk once said that ‘books are the opposite of television; they are slow, engaging, inspiring, intellect-rousing, and creativity-spurring.’

Take advantage of the many bookstores and libraries - they offer a world of knowledge, entertainment and enjoyment. 

What better adventure is there than to get lost in a great novel?  Such adventures do wonders when life gets too hectic, too pressured. What better motivation is there than real-life stories? - to learn about things we never knew before. 

Make reading a priority in your life, you will be amazed at what you will gain!
