To be honest, many powerful things can help in human development change people’s lives, and improve our standard of living like meditation, therapy, Mindfulness, education, and motivational videos but reading books no matter good or bad can change your perspective of living.

Reading directly affects your brain and way of thinking. It can improve your IQ, your writing skills if you are a writer, your perspective and broaden the way you are looking at this world.

I read many good and bad books every week including some novels. Our brain can forget the words we listen to but remember the words we read. Books including the personal experience of the writer are the most valuable books as it is written by heart and not by research and the words directly leave an impact on the hearts of the readers.

I read many great books like:

“The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F*ck: A Counterintuitive Approach to Living a Good Life” by Mark Manson

“The Housemaid” by Freida McFadden.

“Rich Dad Poor Dad” by Robert T. Kiyosaki.

“A Gentleman in Moscow” by Amor Towles.

“The Diary of a Young Girl” by Anne Frank.

An Understated Dominance by Marina Vittori.

“Principles for Dealing with the Changing World Order: Why Nations Succeed or Fail” by Ray Dalio.

Including them I read many more also some in Persian, Hindi, and Urdu language books. These books make me an influencer and writer. I never dreamed of becoming a writer since childhood but I love reading books as I read them more and more I start writing my pieces.

I started by writing poetry and then shifted toward short stories of 20 to 30 pages. Now I am focusing on writing articles of 1000 words on different online platforms and I love my work very much. I believe that words impact our lives like no other thing can.

They can heal us in our tough times. You all know that sometimes when we feel low we only need some supportive words to boost our confidence and we do impossible things. And, I find these words in books.

Nowadays, people prefer to watch movies, reels, and documentaries instead of reading books, novels, and articles although it is beneficial for us to watch knowledgeable movies, reels, and documentaries reading books is more useful for us.

If you want to become a good writer you need to become a good reader. It would be best if you learned from other writer’s successes and failures.

It can also change our way of thinking and our acts. It directly impacts society and its living standards. Choose the books wisely and make it your habit to read at least 3 pages daily.
