You know reading books is good for you.

But do you know WHY?

Here are 10 science-backed health benefits of reading books:

(thread) 🧡
1. Reduces Stress Levels

Researchers at the University of Sussex found that reading for 6 minutes reduced stress levels in subjects by 68%.

Reading a book was more effective at reducing stress than playing video games (21% reduction) or taking a walk (42% reduction).
2. Boosts Overall Happiness

A recent survey of 1,500 adult readers found that 76% of them said that reading improved their life and helped to make them feel good.

Adults who read for just 30 minutes a week reported feeling 20% more satisfied with their lives.

I've read 250+ books.

Here are the 10 most important visuals I've come across:

Once you've seen this visual, you'll never think of 1% as a tiny number ever again.

Although 1% is small, it compounds over time. 1% better every day for a year is not 5x or 10x better, it's 37x better.

Small changes can lead to huge results.

Every area of life is ruled by the 80/20 principle.

80% of your results come from 20% of your effort.

Ex: 80% of your revenue comes from 20% of your customers.

Find the source of the 20% and focus on that to become more productive.
