Photo credit: braindrain.dk
Even during this digital age, books remain popular among people from all walks of life. It is simply because they retain their purpose—to educate while enhancing one’s comprehension skills. Who wouldn’t want to expand knowledge while having fun?

While reading any type of book is a good way to feed your hungry mind, you still have to be picky when it comes to the content of book. Don’t be blinded by an enticing title or a nice illustration on the cover.

Keys to a Healthier Brain

In choosing which books to read, will you go for a best-selling novel or the one authored by a controversial personality? Frankly, there’s no problem if you choose either of the two or both of them. It’s always up to you being the reader.

But if you want to further deepen your understanding and awareness about different things and topics, you might want to dwell on more helpful printed work.

Achieve a healthier brain by reading these types of book:

  1. History
It’s always interesting to know what really happened in the past and how events unfolded that led to the current situation. Reading this type of book is very useful in such a way that it gives us a chance to look back at some notable characters who helped shape the civilization. Also, history gives us all the opportunity to learn from past mistakes and correct the present.

  1. Science and Tech
The fact that the world has gone digital is enough reason to learn the most fascinating facts about the universe and the modern discoveries. This type of book lets us appreciate the efforts of humankind in an attempt to achieve progress.

  1. Fiction
No, it isn’t all about false stories. Fiction works allow us to explore on someone’s innovative ideas and experience a “new reality.” This type raises the reader’s level of consciousness and widens imagination. As this book includes sorts of history and psychology, it makes the reader a good thinker.

  1. Philosophy
No other type of written work can influence people’s daily life the way philosophy books do. As this one tackles a broad range of topics and concepts— from art to politics— readers are offered with basic teachings and views to learn the lessons in life.

[Note: The writer did not recommend certain titles of books intentionally to let readers choose the ones that interest them.]
