TEDx talks: Why reading matters | Rita Carter

From transcript:

It allows us to, just at least for a moment, to step outside our own heads
and see the world for a bit from other people's point of view.
And the same faculty, by extension, opens up whole worlds to us
because it allows us to
imagine what it's like to be somewhere else, doing something else, seeing it in a different way.

And thus people who don't have it are quite severely handicapped,
particularly in social life - they find relationships very difficult - and more than that,
they are limited by a very limited imagination.
Because without that ability to step outside yourself, it's difficult to imagine anything, really.

...your brain needs a workout as much as your body.
And reading fiction seems to be one of the best workouts you can get.
And not only is it good for you, but it's also good for society as a whole
because the brain is like a muscle:
the more you force yourself through books
to take other people's perspectives, to sympathize, to empathize with other people,
the more empathetic a society we will have.

Thank you.
