Anything you will ever read, is going to give you a newer way of looking at problems you might face in life. Books are an unlimited source of knowledge which enrich your brain and enhance you in ways that we can only imagine. If used properly, books are a source of unlimited return on investment.
Knowledge always remains with you no matter what. Even when you lose every material thing you have, knowledge remains. It is going to be that thing which will help you get back up.
2. Books are mentors
Books act as your mentors. A lot of times they are the sum of journeys. Problems faced by the greats in that field. This gives you an insight to their way of thinking and how they overcame specific problems gets you ready for some of your own in your world. Books let the authors become our mentors and guide us through our journey in life.
3. More exposure
When you read you end up exposing yourself to new ways of thinking. You tend to get a new mindset, the mindset that you want. You never know, you might end up forming a career around something you read in a book, like me pursuing business studies after I read a book.
4. Better Analytical Skills
Books improve your line of thinking around specific problems in life. They help you in putting the information together and forming information on your own much better as you are more open with your brain if you read more.
5. Better Writing Skills
A person who reads a lot tends to have a much better vocabulary and a well defined writing style on his own. This happens due to the exposure to good writing on a regular basis. Our brain picks up patterns in things we are regularly exposed to and starts implementing them on a subconscious level.
