Reading is a great way of taking your focus of attention of your everyday troubles and worries for a while as it transport you to places, dream worlds and cultures that you may know little about or you were not even aware they existed. Sometimes the stresses of modern day living shrink our awareness onto a narrow band of focus of attention and away from the rest of the world, all its glory, mystery and things to discover.

Books can stimulate and excite your imagination and curiosity, everything that exists and has ever existed is documented and can be found in a book, reading can teach you new skills, idea's and give you a new positive outlook on life. Books can take you out of your world and away from your personal perspectives for a while as they let you into the private mind, the ideas and opinions of others. 

Reading has many benefits and a book can serve more than one useful purpose at the same time. It is a form of relaxation while at the same time it can stimulate your mind, reading can help you to feel better, books can be our teachers, mentors and inspirations .You can learn and better your life just by reading a book, authors and good writers can take you to places and imaginary worlds where no other form of entertainment or technology can rival. 

If you want to expand your consciousness and your awareness of reality then reading is still the best way of achieving this, books can cover a more in depth look and wider scope into topics as they can delve much deeper into a subject than any television documentary does, a film is often a shortened down version of a book.
