为什么我们要多读书?多读书的理由

5. You will have things to talk about at parties

Reading more books will enable you to say the sentence, "Did you know ______?" more often, making it easier to start conversations with strangers (or, as I like to say, "People who aren't my friends yet").

6. You will entertain yourself for a low price

If you're looking for entertainment on a budget, you can't beat books. Thanks to the popularity of electronic reading devices like the Kindle6 and re-selling websites like eBay, it's never been easier to entertain yourself for hours at a time, for the low cost of a few dollars.

7. You will discover surprising new ideas that are interesting and engaging

Reading introduced me to concepts like mindful eating, relaxation7 exercises, and the importance of loving yourself. If I didn't read, I wouldn't even be aware of these ideas, which have defined my entire coaching philosophy. If you don't read, you could be missing out onintriguing8 ideas that would likewise re-define your personal purpose or business philosophy.

8. You will eliminate boredom9 during down-time

Have you ever found yourself stuck in a waiting room, bored out of your mind, with nothing to read but gossip magazines? If so, you should know that it is wise to keep a book in your purse or car at all times, as you never know when you'll find yourself with some time to kill. Even if you just take a few minutes to read a chapter during your commute10 and lunch break every day, those minutes will quickly turn into hours if repeated consistently.
