Seriously, What Are The Benefits of Reading?
Whether you are reading a book, browsing the web or watching TV we are often drawn to pictures but it is words that drive our understanding. The English Bookshop in Kuwait stocks books on a wide range of subjects, and the benefits of reading are immense at all stages of life. To find out more about all the benefits of reading, keep reading!
- Improved memory
Reading is one of the most enjoyable things. Unlike smartphones and TVs, books automatically makes your brain work harder without you even noticing so therefore you think more frequently and become smarter. Improved memory is scientifically proven by making your brain work faster and harder.
- Improved vocabulary
Have you ever noticed the number of times you have said 'umm' or 'erm' or even 'but.. umm' (HIMYM reference) when you engage in a conversation? Maybe you may have noticed the other person constantly say these phrases. That is because of limited vocabulary range and that could only be fixed by reading more. Next time you speak to someone, ask them how often they read and I can guarantee you that if they read quite often, you won't notice them use 'umm' in their sentences.
- Opens your world to new cultures and places
Whether you read a fiction or a non-fiction, you will always be presented with new things, brand new information you wouldn't have known if you did not pick up that book. What is your favourite coffee shop in Kuwait? I can guarantee that you've read or heard lots of things before you chose that coffee shop as your go-to place. The more information the better. Books expand your imagination by allowing you to discover what other cultures have to offer before you experience them.
