Books can expand our minds, giving readers higher levels of creativity than non-readers. The many benefits experienced by regular readers are higher self-esteem and greater self-acceptance. One in four readers say that a book has helped them realise that other people have shared their life experiences. So we like to give a shout out to the creators of books: Authors.
