Our Best Friends in Print: How Books Improve Our Lives.

Books are our best friends because they never judge us, they are always there for us, and they provide us with endless hours of entertainment.

Whether you’re an avid reader or not, books have made significant impacts on all of our lives in some way. When you think about the positive impact that great literature, motivational books, or storybooks have had on your life, it’s easy to see that books are among our best friends in print. We all know how wonderful it feels to lose yourself in a good book and how valuable the lessons learned from fiction and non-fiction alike can be. Whatever book you’re reading right now was likely bought thanks to one of the following six reasons you should read books every day.

Knowledge

Entertainment

Inspiration

Motivation

Insight

Perspective

Connection

Comfort

Peacefulness

• Knowledge

Books are our best friends because they provide us with knowledge. They are gateways into new worlds and experiences and can teach us about other cultures, history, and science. They can also help us understand our own emotions and feelings, and give us new perspectives on the world around us. In short, books are essential for personal growth and development. Reading a book can make you a better person by providing you with an understanding of how to make your way through life. For example, if you're feeling sad or anxious, then reading about people who feel similarly might help make you feel less alone. The power of books is that they can be read again and again-so there's always more to learn!

• Entertainment

We all know that books can be entertaining. They can take us on wild adventures, make us laugh, and even make us cry. But did you know that books can also improve our lives? Studies have shown that reading can help reduce stress, improve brain function, and even increase empathy. So next time you need a break from reality, reach for a book instead of the remote. Your mind will thank you. Books are so much more than words printed on paper. They give us a sense of hope, wisdom, and comfort when we’re down; they teach us about ourselves when we’re up; they show how to live life to its fullest when we think we don’t have anything left to give. There are few things as comforting as curling up with your favourite book at the end of a long day or flipping through pages while waiting at the doctor’s office or sitting next to someone who is dying.

I firmly believe that if more people read then this world would be a better place.

• Inspiration

There's nothing like a good book to inspire us to be our best selves. Whether it's a novel that transports us to another world or a nonfiction work that challenges us to think differently, books have the power to change our lives for the better. Research has shown that reading can increase empathy and emotional intelligence while improving communication skills and vocabulary. Some even say that reading is an addiction because once you get started, you just can't stop!

• Motivation

Books provide us with an escape from reality, a way to explore new worlds without ever leaving our homes. They can take us on adventures, teach us new things, and help us understand the world and ourselves better. Reading can be a relaxing and enjoyable way to wind down after a long day, or a great way to pass the time on a rainy afternoon. And when we need a little motivation or inspiration, we can always turn to our favourite books for a dose of positivity and hope.

• Insight

It's no secret that books can be our best friends. They provide companionship, teach us new things, and help us escape from reality. But did you know that books can also improve our mental and physical health? A study by the University of Texas found that book readers had a significantly lower risk of depression and anxiety than non-book readers. A study published in the Journal of Research on Reading showed people who read for just 30 minutes per day are less likely to have high blood pressure or develop diabetes than those who don't read at all.

• Perspective

In these difficult times, it's more important than ever to have friends we can rely on. And what could be more dependable than a good book? Books are always there for us, ready to provide comfort, advice, or just a distraction from the outside world. They never judge us, and they're always happy to see us no matter how long it's been since we last picked them up. In short, books are the perfect friends - and we could all use a few more of those right now.

• Connection

In a world that's increasingly driven by technology, it's easy to forget the importance of print media. But books have been our best friends for centuries, and they continue to enrich our lives in countless ways.

• Comfort

In a world that is constantly changing and often feels out of our control, it can be comforting to crack open a book and enter into another world where we can forget our troubles for a little while.

• Peacefulness

In these hectic times, it's more important than ever to find ways to relax and de-stress. One of my favourite ways to do this is by reading books. When I lose myself in a good book, all of my worries disappear and I can just enjoy the story. I always feel more peaceful after reading, and it's a great way to unwind before bed.
