Those who are used to reading do not need particular motivations, stimuli or advice to open a book and read it. Those who read do so for several reasons: pure entertainment : reading a book is fun at reduced costs Vocabulary enrichment : Reading introduces you to new words and new ways to combine them improvement of writing : those who write must read, we all know it However, there are also other reasons for reading books, reasons that I have called valid because they bring real benefits to us as a person. And when scientists say it, we can give them credit, right? #1 – Reading reduces stress Getting lost in a book is the ultimate relaxation. David Lewis According to studies by Mindlab International at the University of Sussex, reading can reduce stress by over two thirds. According to Dr. David Lewis, a cognitive neuropsychologist, reading can actually lower stress by 68%. Concentrating on reading a book releases tension in both the muscles and the heart. For Dr.
Lewis it doesn't matter the type of book we read, reading distances us from the worries of the moment , from the frenzy of today's world. We often hear "I relax by reading a good book". Reading takes us into another Special Data world, the world imagined by the author. Reading has always been an escape from everyday reality, the classic escape from the monotony we are used to. Reading a book is a stress reliever that I have tried several times. When I was in the military, at the officer training course, I had books and comics with me: they helped me break the tension of those ultra-hectic days and allowed me to escape from that world of uniforms, iron and gunpowder, even if only for a few minutes. When I need to recharge my brain , before dinner I take my two books to read and spend a couple of hours elsewhere. In winter, when I go to pick olives with my family, after a day of work outdoors I relax on the sofa with a book. #2 – Reading relieves depression Books are more than works of art to be admired.
Alain De Botton It's called bibliotherapy . A self-help program based on cognitive-behavioural therapy was created by NICE in London (National Institute for Health and Care Excellence) for patients suffering from mild depression . Bibliotherapy thus became an investment for the health service, which collaborated with libraries to provide a prescription book service. After World War II it was used to boost the morale of troops during convalescence. I remember that several years ago I used bibliotherapy without knowing it. There had been moments of depression, I no longer know why, and reading a book, The Magic Kingdom of Landover by Terry Brooks, had brought my good mood back. That book, thinking about it now after a long time, is not a masterpiece, perhaps not even one of the author's best, but it has something, perhaps in the style used, perhaps in the story itself, that made me forget everything and escape into the truth. sense of the word. Ultimately the story is about exactly this: about a man who has now lost interest in his own life and finds a way to escape. I read that novel five times.
