Reading is good for more than just entertainment. Committing part of everyday to reading printed books can make you a smarter, kinder, more relaxed individual. And the positive effects can be felt at any age: Even before they’ve fully developed their reading skills, kids can benefit from having access to printed materials and being read to on a regular basis. Exposing kids to books, magazines, and more at an early age is a great way to encourage them to be life-long readers, which means they’ll reap these benefits for years to come.
Personally, I prefer ebooks because I don’t have to stress about losing my place, the pages blowing in the wind, reading at night without waking my wife with the light on, and running out of something to read next… But if I can only give one single piece of advice in life.. it will always be to read a lot.
