They are the best mood lifters
There is nothing like a great book to cheer you up if you are feeling 
somehow lonely, depressed, agitated, confused, or sad. No matter the 
type of stories you would like to hear, you can definitely find a work of 
fiction that appeals to you strongly. Genres like detective fiction, true 
crime, horror, mystery, romance, science fiction, fantasy, and 
psychological novel have a lot to teach us about our lives and they can 
even give you a fresh take on people and surroundings. Even if you are 
someone who is not into fiction, you can still read a lot of non-fiction 
works like history books, sociology books, travelogues, and biographies 
that can capture your attention for long hours.

They are great for self-development
In many ways, books help us to articulate our thoughts and ideas in a 
better way so that we can be clear to ourselves. A person who is not into 
reading may find it difficult to attain knowledge. This can also make it 
difficult for that person to achieve true inner development. On the other 
hand, when you regularly read books, you get to grow knowledge and 
understand various realities about the world. You can also keep your mind 
sharp and with ability to decipher complex information easily.

we know, you can still see the world from numerous perspectives and this 
can help you to expand your mindset in many ways. This can also help you 
to develop better problem-solving skills which can help you to make your 
life a lot easier. Moreover, creative and imaginative people are always 
happier than those who lack such skills.
