Reading has many benefits, but here is why I read.

How can you be unhappy when you go to bed smarter every day? You should read. I like self-help, self development, financial, spiritual, dating and many more books, and for me, these books are filled with knowledge.

As I already stated, these books are filled with knowledge. To reap the most out of somebodys books, you have to read it with an open mind. Do not let your ego stop you from improving. If you fight your present beliefs, you will grow and the ego will feel disconnected from the new belief. Contradicting beliefs are the worst enemy of your ego, and so your ego will make you butthurt and angry. To fight your ego you have to let go and suck up the knowledge, learn something from everyone. Even that homeless person may know something you do not, do not let your ego win you over.

Reading self-help and development books will “download” the authors brain into yours, if you are reading the book in the right way. Books are a powerful tool to improve your knowledge, these people are the smartest people on earth and they gave you their information, so use it. Depression is a really hard thing, it builds up and then just crashes onto you, and it crashes down deep in your subconcius. Your concius may “feel” something is wrong, but to truly let go and get rid of depression you have to dig deep into the subconcius mind. This may seem easy when said, but it is hard when you ego, your toughts and everything is stopping your from getting out of your “hole”. Try your hardest and read with an open mind, your mind will try to stop you from improving, because he does not need it to survive. Fight your brain and WIN.

Summary: I read because it will “download” the authors brain into mine.
