Did you know apart from quality entertainment, reading books can help you gain perspective on your life too? There are times when you are going through a very rough time and you feel like this bumpy ride is never ending and you have lost all your energy to deal with it.

It can be hard to bring yourself out of such complex emotions and negative thoughts on your own, but reading about someone who went through a similar situation and how they handled it will definitely help you figure out how to deal with such situation. There are many ways reading books is very beneficial for us and how it gives our life a completely new perspective.

When we read books we gain knowledge from thousands of peoples and we can go back in time through the book without having to live in that time. We only live our life for a limited time period but we can live more than ten times our age through books.

Reading boosts analytical thinking skills along with giving you a better perspective on life. A reader improves general knowledge and analytical thinking. A reader’s brain is constantly asking questions while reading. We encounter struggles and different situations all the times.

We seem to stand at a closed door with no way to go back. We try to find answers to questions and mysteries that we come across while reading books way before it is answered in the book. We also apply analytical thinking skills learned as a result of reading in real life by letting our minds open up to new horizons and to think in nontraditional and unconventional ways. As a byproduct of reading we are able to spot patterns and find solutions quicker.

We feel like we are stuck at a point in life and there is no way out but after reading something that clicks and all of a sudden it gives you ability and courage to move ahead in life. When we read books, after reading about the struggles of our favorite characters and how they dealt with those struggles we learn lessons for our personal lives as well.

Reading books is an amazing way to escape the reality but it also helps you a lot when you come back to reality. The knowledge you gain and the emotions you go through while you read a book stay with you and give you a completely different perspective on your life.

i love this post..

Agreed, reading is a great way to increase ones understanding of various problems and situations while also giving us a new perspective on the issue at hand.

One of the most useful pastimes in my opinion, like a workout for the brain!

books are important
they help us to obtain knowledge and peace and relax, it is like traveling in time,,somewtimes i am happy reagings a good books.

Books allow us to venture into other worlds, real & imagined... experience travel, even before we go sometimes so that when we arrive somewhere new, the terrain feels familiar. One book that particularly inspired me was Eat, Pray, Love, which I read right before backpacking Europe by myself. I wonder, had I not read the book, if I would have had such an amazing adventure. With the inspiration I carried with me, I set off to explore with no fears of the unknown... I do believe books can be life-changing.

Please help me out here... I have some difficulties setting out a time to read am a student and each time I try reading I always get distracted. Please what do I do? I need help please

We do what we really want to do. If you really desire to read... you will.

On a more practical note, make sure your phone and other electronics are turned off or put away. This helps a lot. If other people are distracting you, physically going to another place that is more quiet may be necessary.

Thanks for the cerebral in depth...Books play a significant role in our life and they say that “When you open a book , you open a new world”. I believe that everyone would agree with this statement as books have become inevitable to mankind. For the majority of people, books are part of their everyday life. A book is like a best friend who will never walk away from you.
Books are packed with knowledge, insights into a happy life, life lessons, love, fear, prayer and be of help in terms of advice. One can read about anything under the sun... Books have been here for centuries and without them today’s knowledge of our past ancestors, cultures and civilizations and many more would have been impossible. Its really interesting reading books

absolutely , books are the best friend you can ever have ,
read to lead
