Benefits of Reading

 
I'm fond of reading, I always like to learn some new thing from books. I've shared one article from Readers Digest. 
 
Reading gives muscle to your memory.
Reading gives your brain a different kind of workout than watching TV or listening to the radio. Whether you’re absorbed in a page-turner or simply scanning an instruction manual for your coffee maker, “parts of the brain that have evolved for other functions—such as vision, language, and associative learning—connect in a specific neural circuit for reading, which is very challenging," Ken Pugh, PhD, president and director of research of Haskins Laboratories, told Oprah magazine. The habit spurs your brain to think and concentrate.

3 Books for Personal Growth and Self-Development

Image
20231102T052902 I recently came upon a list of personal development books that I read and adored few years ago while going through old notes. Here are three books that I read and found to be beneficial. 1. Rich Dad Poor Dad Author:  Robert T. Kiyosaki "Rich Dad Poor Dad" is a personal finance book written by Robert Kiyosaki.
