Why read books — 4 Reasons

for you to start reading

1. Learning about other worlds and cultures. There is

no better way to learn about other cultures and what exists
beyond your boundaries like through reading books about
other places. Not every one of us can afford to travel to all
parts of the world and learn about what is happening
there.However, reading books about those places will get
you there in a much quicker and cheaper way.

2. Become smarter and more open-minded. People

who read regularly tend to be smarter than those who don’t.
They tend to have an open mind and are more aware of their
surroundings. I always find that I know more things than
some of my colleagues because of reading. In some circles
where I hang, I am always asked to share my opinion on
things because of the knowledge I have on those topics; most
of which is picked up from the books I read.

3. Improves self-awareness and builds your self-

esteem: By reading many books, you communicate better
and become more informed on various issues of life. This
translates into improved self-awareness and a higher self-
esteem. Since you have confidence in yourself and your
ability to deliver, you become more productive and overall, a
much better person.
