Psychologists and sociologists from different countries are sure: a person who voluntarily refuses to read, deprives himself of a lot of advantages.
What kind of advantages, you may ask?

1.Broaden your horizons.
Whoever said that knowledge is power was absolutely right. Life forces us to adjust to the proposed circumstances, and often to cope with them help only the skills and knowledge gained over the years.

2.Develop imagination.
As far as books are concerned, the reader has to engage his imagination and literally create his own worlds based on what the author offers. So reading not only expands our knowledge in different areas, but also allows us to develop creativity and out-of-the-box thinking, and these skills can be very useful.

3.Increase vocabulary.
Quality literature will allow you to diversify your speech with new words and expressions, which are almost impossible to meet in everyday life.

4.Get rid of stress.
Books have an almost magical ability to draw us into other worlds, distracting us from pressing problems. Plunging into the space of a cleverly twisted plot, there is every chance to forget about your own personal and business troubles at least for a while.

5.Develop emotional intelligence.
The more often we pick up a book, the more we learn about the world around us, but it would be nice to learn how to apply this knowledge in real life. Intellectual base is good, the ability to use it at the right moment is invaluable.
