10 Reasons Why People Who #Read #Books Are More Successful…

Wow, so many great benefits from reading! For more than 30 years, I had a TV right in front of my bed & watched it before going to sleep. Recently we put our new king bed in a place where you can’t have a TV right in front of you. I have read 5 novels in just 3 months! And, it’s true, I am sleeping better than I have since I was a child. (I’ve had insomnia for as long as I can remember.) I used to read when I got home from work before I took my nap. And it really does relax you and make you forget the day’s problems.

Of course, No. 9 is true! I wouldn’t have written my novel if I hadn’t read so many novel and memoirs over my lifetime.

As far as No. 10, I totally agree that readers set and achieve a lot more goals than non-readers!

Here’s to READING! And thanks, Chris, The Story Reading Ape for sharing this on your blog! ;-)

In a world dominated by gadgets and social media, Americans don’t read nearly as much as they should. In fact, statistics cite that 33 percent of high school graduates never read another book after finishing school, and a whopping 42 percent of college graduates join them four years down the road.

That means those who do read have an immediate advantage over nearly half the population. Influencing skills can make or break just about any business dealings and reading is the most popular way people learn to influence others. No matter your plans in life, reading is going to help you get there directly or indirectly.
