Reading an exciting or interesting book can be so captivating, relaxing, or valuable. We immerse ourselves in another world from which we can gain so much. Reading books can not only support our personal growth, but it also influences our body and mind. It reduces stress and stimulates our imagination. According to scientific studies, it even promotes our emotional intelligence. And let's be honest: reading simply feels good and strengthens the soul. Unfortunately, we often don't take enough time to read. We'd rather turn on the TV or spend our free time on our phone or computer. We prefer to switch off instead of having to focus on a book – without pictures and without sound – after a stressful day. Therefore, it makes sense to consciously create free time for reading.
