Reading more often has many cognitive and emotional benefits. It builds vocabulary by exposing readers to rarer words, reduces stress by 68%, and improves sleep. Reading allows people to experience different perspectives and lives through stories, helping readers feel more connected to people they've never met.
10. What separates us from the animals,
What separates us from the chaos
Is our ability to mourn people weve never
met.
