14th December 2020 Book Portal Advent

 1. New mental associations- As mentioned briefly in one of my previous advent posts, As you read more books the depth and breadth of your knowledge expands and your ability to form new associations increases. In reading a book to discover the solution to one problem, you find the solution to others you may not have found.

2. Reading brings new perspectives- Reading allows you to open your mind to new perspectives which in turn can lead to greater creativity. Reading may well make you feel more comfortable with ambiguity and thinking outside the box and venturing into unchartered waters of thought will offer so many new perspectives. Also, by having these new perspectives you can get yourself out the 'Normal' and be unique which is always a good thing.
