The science is very clear that reading heightens brain connectivity, reduces stress, leads to improved attention, working memory, sensory integration, creativity, and it increases our fluid reasoning and brain plasticity. 

 

Although the BBC notes that we should read one hour per day, reading just 15-20 minutes a day also has tangible benefits.

 

Many contemporary leaders have stated how reading was fundamental to their roles. Warren Buffet noted that knowledge accumulated from reading "… builds up, like compound interest."

 

Bill Gates reads 50 books a year and Barack Obama, who regularly shares his own reading lists, noted that reading was "invaluable" to him during his time in the White House.
