Why you should read books 1. Increases your vocabulary 2. It stimulates your mind and improves your mental health 3. It makes you more empathic 4. Reading can be transformative 5. Reading helps in stress reduction 6. Reading helps with depression 7. Reading helps build discipline
Reading improves your conversational skills Because reading increases your vocabulary and your knowledge of how to correctly use new words, reading helps you clearly articulate what you want to say. The knowledge you gain from reading also gives you lots to talk about with others
I read one book per week on average but I am a terrible speaker... I am always looking for words. So annoying! And the thing is that I initially started reading to improve my eloquence. It obviously didn't work as expected but now I love my books!
While reading is great, it’s only one part of the equation. Reading is the consumption while writing is the production. This isn’t to say that you have to strive to be a novelist, but if you exercise writing your thoughts about what you read, it builds understanding and helps you to develop key ideas. Writing and reading go hand in hand. When done in concert, you maximize the benefits from both. If I read something that strikes me, but never write the thoughts down, then it is lost, never to be articulated.
I'd use it on specialty books only- that's how I got my educations. MB brain is not fit to meet our changing needs and lifestyles. Skills can be learned only when all body gets involved. Also, spoken communications now are mostly deceiving. I know it is very disappointing, but it is more important what kind of life , style and speed you live with. Good luck to y'll.
I am 70 and need large print, so I bought a Kindle and now I can have a larger font and I can also slip it into my purse when I leave the house. My love of reading is back!!
I have overall read 357 books total within 7 years. I pretty sure I have read more than that when I was school. I love reading books it has really improved my brain in a healthy way.
The Koran has errors. The bible does not. End of the debate. What on earth are you rambling about. The most important question in your life is, have I been born again? Read John chapter 3. You need to get saved.
I have been reading for a week straight so far. My advice: 1: find a book that sounds interesting 2: have a place to stop. i.e 3 pages, end of the chap. ect. 3:just...do it. It was really boring the first couple of days but I forced myself and now I look forward to it every day 4: put it on your to do list. When you ask yourself “what do I have to do today??” Make sure you say READ my book because then you won’t forget and it will become part of your day. 5: reward yourself after, tell yourself that you are amazing and that it took self discipline to do that and you did it. Being proud of yourself makes your brain want to do it again in order to receive praise. I hope this helped someone☺️
Not just interesting sometimes you have to read all kinds of books mostly books that can teach you something and help you but other than that so far it sounds good in how you improved !!
That part about reading as an escape really hit home. When I was a kid, reading was the escape from my awful home life that kept me alive. I was very depressed and reading was the thing that helped me the most. Not sure if I would even be here now if I had not had that outlet.
same here, books saved me. As positive side effekt I got better at school and soon I could enter into a professional life , I was then free from my toxic home very soon.
I love how audiobooks can help those who are visually impaired or have dyslexia enjoy books. Also listening to audiobooks (at a higher speed) while reading the physical book can help keep us focused if we are more distracted or in a reading slump.
@@Jc50gt I'm an avid reader myself and an amateur neuroscientist, psychologist and philosopher. Reading alone is not going to make you economically successful in life. If we look at it from a purely statistical view, the largest determining factor of success is the family you are born into. If you are born into poor circumstances with neglectful parents, no socializing, poor neighborhood, no positive contacts; then it doesn't matter how many books you read, you will still likely remain poor. Now, I still love books and recommend them to everyone because they do have a lot of value in terms of developing better self-awareness and a wide knowledge base. However, don't be fooled into thinking that reading will make you successful.
@@DaveSimkus reading books changes your mind, your attitude towards life, your thinking, your understanding of inner and outer selves. Hence , you take steps, baby steps, make choices , make decisions and hence take “risks”. One needs to be reasonable on taking risks. But risk is not something one takes out of the blue. There is lot of thought behind it. The thought power and knowledge you gain from reading books will help you take risks for better success in life.
True words my friend, I recently got back into reading and realised how much I missed it. Such a simple but effective and enjoyable way of attaining new perspectives knowledge, and education.
I stopped reading books around my senior year in High School, devastatingly so. I simply couldn’t focus. The story couldn’t hold my attention because I was too distracted on life and what was going on in my life outside of school. I lost my imagination. I’m 24 now. Around 22 I started reading comic books and graphic novels. I really fell back in love with reading good compelling stories. A couple years later, I’m reading Stephen King books, Ernest Hemingway books, Arthur C Clarke sci fi books, William Gibson Sci Fi books, Phillip K Dick sci books, Grant Morrison comics, Frank Miller comics, Alan Moore and many many more writers. I must say I’ve completely fallen head over heels in love with reading again, and it’s all I want to do now a days, get lost in a good book. Reading can be challenging, but that’s the fun part of it. Getting through a dense story can be very rewarding. Reading is underrated af and I hope people give it a chance again.
Keep it up. I too want to go back to reading. I love children's story books and I miss the short stories in my Filipino and English textbooks when I was in elementary and highschool.
Well said. 2 years ago I started reading every day and I’m having a blast. I started back with Stephen King and expanded to Dean Koontz then jumped back and forth to classics, and autobiographies. Currently discovered Robert McCammon: Swan Song, Mine, The Five and Boy’s Life.
I have been reading books since I was 7 years old, I read 1 hrs every day, now I am encouraging my daughter to ready 30 minutes every day it’s a life changing habit .
I wish I was taught that as a kid. I'm 25 and I've just started the habit of reading and it's very difficult to pick it up. No one in my family reads , nor my friends. But it's getting better at least
I have so many reasons to start reading everyday. I’m trying to improve my English and reading is definitely one of the most important thing to do in order to improve my vocabulary and also my pronunciation. I really loved this video. I’ll keep everything it said in mind.

I tried reading before but got bored ... but now I figured novels and fictions are just not my thing...now I started reading financing , spiritual self help books etc and I love it...also the physical books arnt for me I love reading on my Kindle ...its so much more convenient,just the ability to read when I lay comfortably in bed ...now its always in my bed so I read every now n then... Just in love with this new hobbie :)
Looking back during my childhood, I disliked reading very much, but now I wish I read more back then because it’s not as bad as I thought it was. The power of reading a story and putting your imagination to use by visualizing it or learning something new about someone or something, through a book, fascinates me. Reading isn’t as bad as you may think, once you read for 5-10 minutes, you might eventually or even want to continue to keep reading. Give it a try!
I got a secret! Lol I taught myself how to read as a child. It was a " Cinderella" story that I rememberd by heart. Unfortunately, I only got a 1/2 year of kindergarten. I taught myself to read by repetition, sound, and a great memory. This is why I watch people lips for vowel sounds. Now, I am good at word articulate because it had to be developed. I use to watch newscasters to learn language sounds. I love reading to this day.
@@hisakiasakura480 your opinion must be respected but read ''On the wisdom of life: Aphorisms" By Arthur Schopenhauer you can never find something like that on internet to change your life, its a philosophy btw
I started reading because of LeVar Burton's Reading Rainbow TV show back in the day when I was a youngster, since then it's always been truly fundamental!
If you think reading is boring or hard, read old books. They might still be hard, but they won't be boring. Reading is a workout for your brain, like a bike is a workout for your body. You can take your favorite routes, or go where you haven't been before.
Thank you for this inspirational video for promoting reading! I especially love the moment when the young man reads a Ukrainian dictionary at minutes 2:44-2:46! Being a Ukrainian, especially during this dramatic time for Ukraine, means a lot to me! The Ukrainian language is beautiful, and I love when foreigners speak in Ukrainian. The accent is pleasant to hear. Thank you!
Reading was a big help battling my depression. There were times I wasn't able to get out of my bed and thought about commiting suicide in an endless cycle. My brain just never stopped thinking about it and it was truly exhausting. Then I began to pick up books and when I read it was the only time my brain shut up thinking about suicide and how worthless I feel. The different perspetives of characters also animated me to see my own problems, thoughts and life from a different point of view and so reading books finally kickstarted small impulses of changing my way of thinking, getting help, leaving my bed and so. Now, after many years of therapy and conquering my depression I'm still reading a lot. Disappearing into the world of books is my safe space and I'm highly grateful for it.
I've discovered that whenever I see a movie that was a book adaptation then I make it a point to read the book first and discovered there was more to the story in the book then there was in the movie. For example 2001 A Space Odyssey had a lot more to the story than what you saw in the movie.
Its one of my favorite books. It really explained the the first part of the movie involving the apes. Pretty cool. The ending was more intense as well.
Trick I use - Read in 20 min cycles. If you can get through the first 2 you will most likely capture enough information that will make you go another 20 min cycle. For fiction books this can really get you into a storyline . For non-fiction books it can simply help you keep progress over time if you're intending to read and take time to digest a chapter or two over a given time frame.
Reading is so powerful, it allows to go to the unknown, aquire new ideas ,gain from other experiences. It shows intelligence, lucidity. Have a book, read and nourish ur mind. Finally, it enables you a global vision, it stabilizes, it offers peace
What can I say, reading is quite “magical” to me. I read for entertainment (yep, purely for fun) when I was little and never expected any effect on me, yet at this age of my life I do give credit to the past reading experience my inclination to think, to write, to reflect, and to be optimistic. Recently, I have experienced some issues with money, self-improvement, and office socialization. When I got fed up and pick up a random book for a quick “escape,” for some reason, there’s always something in the book I picked that day that would speak to the circumstances I was bothered by: it could be a Confucius quote on point, it could be a fictional story where the heroine has similar struggles, etc. I found myself question: huh? Do books have their own mind and know exactly what I need?! Lol! Yeah, when in doubt, go read a book 😉
Through books, you can learn anything! Just choose what you want to learn and search the best books on the subject. Then, find ways to apply what you read.
Journey before destination. Reading isn’t about getting to the end. I’m in no hurry. I read each word for itself. I soak it in and enjoy it. I love the small moments and the big moments. And between audible and my kindle… I read ~9 hours per day. Audible for 8 hours during work (I work 9-10 hour shifts). Reading and chess have helped keep my brain sharp. I had a year or two in my late 20s where I didn’t do reading and/or chess, and I noticed a significant decline in my ability to focus. The brain needs exercise.
I started my new years resolution back in October to read more books ( specifically wealth building books) and I've been loving it. Readrich dad poor dad, richest man in babylon and now started your money or you're life. Good stuff.
Same here, January I started reading wealth building books, Started with Rich dad poor dad and now I am reading Think and Grow Rich.I now enjoy reading.
Reading improves imagination/visualization, in movies director does the visualization and you just see the output without having to put your brain. As said at last part of video, reading maybe the way to be part of billionaire club. It is as important to read the correct book instead of something, if you want to improve.
There's a guy by the name of Stephen Krashen who talks about learning foreign languages through reading. I read short stories and novels in Spanish. I learned more Spanish through reading than trying to pick it up through hearing native Speakers speak and asking questions. If you want to learn a foreign language, reading is like putting a jetpack on your language learning. If you incorporate that with listening to native speakers, you can learn a lot in a matter of months. I truly think you could reach near native level within 5-10 years depending on if you need to learn a new script.
After reading Rich Dad, Poor Dad by R. Kiyosaki, my life has completely changed. It is true that one can chart a new course in their life by reading a book. Had i not read that, im sure I have a completely different mindset today.
It takes a big ego to read, it can be very hard work! I accept this and I also love to read. Concentration is a virtue and power. I try to read from the heart, which can be very slow reading, picking up the fragile thread and not losing it till the end.
It's wonderful the way we can exercise our brains, expand the way we see and do things, learn from the experiences of others, travel to new places, discover new cultures... **
Reading is just the best. Why would i watch a movie for 3 hours when i can read a story for days weeks or even months? If you havent read a book try a book thst has a movie based off it. I just bought my wife twilight because she loves the movie and books are always better
Great video, thanks! I would only add that it’s important to read book from authors who speak a different language than yours. I think that reading a translation is still an awesome way to read a book in a different language. Having read for quite a while I feel like many books now are nothing more than tv shows or movies in written form and I think that is still ok, but you can get a lot more value from reading a book that was not mass marketed initially.
Yeah. My elementary school (I'm 22 now) made me hate to read. We had to read 1 book per month and then write a report as 10 years olds. I know it was with good in intentions, but I hated it. Also I have mild, but noticeable dislexia which was completely ignored (nobody's fault). So that resulted to me hating the very mental process of reading. I'm trying to break it now and this video helped me to find motivation. So thank you.
I actually read The Hunger Games AFTER seeing the motion picture. Seeing the The Hunger Games on screen is actually what made me decide to read the books.
I work with someone (actually this is the second guy I worked with) who said - "Books....books are stupid!". The most recent one also said reading books will make you go crazy or become a psychopath..........I have no response to either of these ideas.
The one who said books are stupid, is one himself if he is a book. The other bloke who said reading books will turn the reader into a psychopath or a lunatic must be into video games and dating and hook-up apps. I wonder what kind of logic they possess and which side of their families did they take after?
I started reading a few months back, I had never read before. It feels really good after reading your first book. I completed my first book in 3 months but time reduce with the next one. Next time, I'll also make sure I'll read instead of watching a video to know the benefits of any think :p .
This video seems to argue why reading is useful as apposed to why reading books is useful. I find that whenever people say reading it's too focused on books specifically despite there being many other forms of literature aside from books. My parents keep imploring I read books, and they say I spend too much time on my laptop despite the fact that I still read paragraphs worth of writing from websites, articles, other pieces that draw my attention, and even reviewing my own pieces of writing. I find reading to not introduce as much vocabulary as people may think. I read several book series growing up, and what I got from them was not a broad vocabulary. Reading will allow you to understand new words, and help you to understand unknown words in the future, but being able to recall them at the drop of a hat requires you to practice using them. This is why I find writing to be a much better substitute to reading to widen your vocabulary since it causes you to use new words as apposed to just reading them.
You have the power to entertain yourself don’t let other things outside yourself hold the power to distract or entertain you. If you can’t choose what entertains you u have lost control over your life

Then I began to pick up books and when I read it was the only time my brain shut up thinking about suicide and how worthless I feel.
The different perspetives of characters also animated me to see my own problems, thoughts and life from a different point of view and so reading books finally kickstarted small impulses of changing my way of thinking, getting help, leaving my bed and so.
Now, after many years of therapy and conquering my depression I'm still reading a lot. Disappearing into the world of books is my safe space and I'm highly grateful for it.
I think reading is quite difficult before, but I'm gonna to change my mindset! I really wanna to instil the habit of READING!📚
Today 16/8/22 I started to read a 1st page of my book .
Thanks too all positive comments.
Great video. There's great utility in reading and it's no surprise many successful people are also avid readers!
I am a reader and I have podcasted the books. Thank you so much your sharing.
One of my resolutions for this year to read 20 books 📚
Stop watching why you should read books and actually go read a book.
My 3 favorite books are Rocky Mountain Christmas by Johnstone, And Then There were None by Agatha Christie, and Code of the Samarai.
everyone is busy but everyone can manage their busyness also
I've discovered that whenever I see a movie that was a book adaptation then I make it a point to read the book first and discovered there was more to the story in the book then there was in the movie. For example 2001 A Space Odyssey had a lot more to the story than what you saw in the movie.
Always. They can only pack so much into a movie.
More details are in the book that you get to envision in your mind
Its one of my favorite books. It really explained the the first part of the movie involving the apes. Pretty cool. The ending was more intense as well.
Proud that I'm from a family who don't read
And I turn out to love reading
Begin at 2:10.
God bless you
@@User_sam0101 Thank you. God bless you.
Even God loves to read. Reading is good. It makes you smarter.
Reading also helps to increase empathy!
Simply put, reading will change your life.
Trick I use - Read in 20 min cycles. If you can get through the first 2 you will most likely capture enough information that will make you go another 20 min cycle. For fiction books this can really get you into a storyline . For non-fiction books it can simply help you keep progress over time if you're intending to read and take time to digest a chapter or two over a given time frame.
Reading is so powerful, it allows to go to the unknown, aquire new ideas ,gain from other experiences. It shows intelligence, lucidity. Have a book, read and nourish ur mind. Finally, it enables you a global vision, it stabilizes, it offers peace
What can I say, reading is quite “magical” to me. I read for entertainment (yep, purely for fun) when I was little and never expected any effect on me, yet at this age of my life I do give credit to the past reading experience my inclination to think, to write, to reflect, and to be optimistic.
Recently, I have experienced some issues with money, self-improvement, and office socialization. When I got fed up and pick up a random book for a quick “escape,” for some reason, there’s always something in the book I picked that day that would speak to the circumstances I was bothered by: it could be a Confucius quote on point, it could be a fictional story where the heroine has similar struggles, etc. I found myself question: huh? Do books have their own mind and know exactly what I need?! Lol!
Yeah, when in doubt, go read a book 😉
"The foundation of learning is reading"
reading
->increases vocabulary
express yourself/thought in a better way
Reading is so much fun!
Through books, you can learn anything! Just choose what you want to learn and search the best books on the subject. Then, find ways to apply what you read.
I READ AND TAKE NOTES ON WHAT I READ IT INGRAINS WHAT YOU ARE READING, AND IM GOING TO START AGAIN KEEPING A JOURNAL...
I read the bible during this looooong video. Reading a book on being concise would be my suggestion for the authors
Applied knowledge is power
Journey before destination. Reading isn’t about getting to the end. I’m in no hurry. I read each word for itself. I soak it in and enjoy it. I love the small moments and the big moments. And between audible and my kindle… I read ~9 hours per day. Audible for 8 hours during work (I work 9-10 hour shifts). Reading and chess have helped keep my brain sharp. I had a year or two in my late 20s where I didn’t do reading and/or chess, and I noticed a significant decline in my ability to focus. The brain needs exercise.
Here to convince myself to start reading habit in 2021. Hope gonna make it.
Read is like breathing for the body
I must be an alien.
And the brain 🧠
*Reading.
I started my new years resolution back in October to read more books ( specifically wealth building books) and I've been loving it. Readrich dad poor dad, richest man in babylon and now started your money or you're life. Good stuff.
Same here, January I started reading wealth building books, Started with Rich dad poor dad and now I am reading Think and Grow Rich.I now enjoy reading.
A wise man once said 🦉
Reading is Fundamental 🌿 🤓 👓
Reading improves imagination/visualization, in movies director does the visualization and you just see the output without having to put your brain.
As said at last part of video, reading maybe the way to be part of billionaire club. It is as important to read the correct book instead of something, if you want to improve.
Matthew 4.
It is written.
Thanks for sharing.
Collecting books to read and reading the books is two different things. And I am doing the former.
Some of my best friends are books
📖💕
Dear person reading this you deserve a round of applause!😃
There's a guy by the name of Stephen Krashen who talks about learning foreign languages through reading. I read short stories and novels in Spanish. I learned more Spanish through reading than trying to pick it up through hearing native Speakers speak and asking questions. If you want to learn a foreign language, reading is like putting a jetpack on your language learning. If you incorporate that with listening to native speakers, you can learn a lot in a matter of months. I truly think you could reach near native level within 5-10 years depending on if you need to learn a new script.
After reading Rich Dad, Poor Dad by R. Kiyosaki, my life has completely changed. It is true that one can chart a new course in their life by reading a book. Had i not read that, im sure I have a completely different mindset today.
Hello, you should check out millionaire fast lane by mj demaraco and unscripted . These books really changed the way I see things
If I don t read, I suffer. That s a fact in my life. If I read l, I feel happy and calm. It s amazing yet a real fact.
My roommate read the entire Game of Thrones series and despised the TV adaption.
It takes a big ego to read, it can be very hard work! I accept this and I also love to read. Concentration is a virtue and power. I try to read from the heart, which can be very slow reading, picking up the fragile thread and not losing it till the end.
It's wonderful the way we can exercise our brains, expand the way we see and do things, learn from the experiences of others, travel to new places, discover new cultures... **
Love this comment
readers are leaders📚☺️
Visual media promoting reading!Reading is steady stimulator where as visual media is lightning.
I’d rather read books than watch movies tho… books are much more fun and visualising our own world/characterisations are better when when I read.
Reading is just the best. Why would i watch a movie for 3 hours when i can read a story for days weeks or even months? If you havent read a book try a book thst has a movie based off it. I just bought my wife twilight because she loves the movie and books are always better
Great video, thanks! I would only add that it’s important to read book from authors who speak a different language than yours. I think that reading a translation is still an awesome way to read a book in a different language. Having read for quite a while I feel like many books now are nothing more than tv shows or movies in written form and I think that is still ok, but you can get a lot more value from reading a book that was not mass marketed initially.
Yeah. My elementary school (I'm 22 now) made me hate to read. We had to read 1 book per month and then write a report as 10 years olds. I know it was with good in intentions, but I hated it. Also I have mild, but noticeable dislexia which was completely ignored (nobody's fault). So that resulted to me hating the very mental process of reading. I'm trying to break it now and this video helped me to find motivation. So thank you.
I love to read articles, news and books as well if its interest me.
Me too.
Stay till the end, super worth it!
Thanks so much for sharing with us😀.
After my kids a joy of reading is easily the greatest gift I was given in life.
Thanks for good advice. Yes, reading improves our vocabulary n widen our knowledge. Thanks alot.👍
I actually read The Hunger Games AFTER seeing the motion picture. Seeing the The Hunger Games on screen is actually what made me decide to read the books.
I love reading
I work with someone (actually this is the second guy I worked with) who said - "Books....books are stupid!". The most recent one also said reading books will make you go crazy or become a psychopath..........I have no response to either of these ideas.
The one who said books are stupid, is one himself if he is a book. The other bloke who said reading books will turn the reader into a psychopath or a lunatic must be into video games and dating and hook-up apps. I wonder what kind of logic they possess and which side of their families did they take after?
Excellent video
I started reading a few months back, I had never read before. It feels really good after reading your first book. I completed my first book in 3 months but time reduce with the next one.
Next time, I'll also make sure I'll read instead of watching a video to know the benefits of any think :p .
This video seems to argue why reading is useful as apposed to why reading books is useful.
I find that whenever people say reading it's too focused on books specifically despite there being many other forms of literature aside from books. My parents keep imploring I read books, and they say I spend too much time on my laptop despite the fact that I still read paragraphs worth of writing from websites, articles, other pieces that draw my attention, and even reviewing my own pieces of writing. I find reading to not introduce as much vocabulary as people may think. I read several book series growing up, and what I got from them was not a broad vocabulary. Reading will allow you to understand new words, and help you to understand unknown words in the future, but being able to recall them at the drop of a hat requires you to practice using them. This is why I find writing to be a much better substitute to reading to widen your vocabulary since it causes you to use new words as apposed to just reading them.
You have the power to entertain yourself don’t let other things outside yourself hold the power to distract or entertain you. If you can’t choose what entertains you u have lost control over your life
I would imagine that similar statistics to the US one, would apply to adults here in the UK.
Great video. Good information.
