Can Reading Books Change Your Personality?

They provide us with new ideas, expand our thinking, and help us see things from different perspectives. However, the question that comes to mind is can reading books change your personality? The answer is yes. Reading books can have a profound impact on your personality, and in this article, we will explore how that is possible. Reading is an activity that has been around for centuries, and for good reason.

Reading Improves Empathy

One of the ways in which reading can change your personality is by improving your empathy. Reading a good book can transport you to different worlds, introduce you to diverse characters, and allow you to experience their thoughts and emotions. This helps you develop a deeper understanding of human nature, which can improve your ability to empathize with others. Research has shown that people who read fiction are more empathetic than those who do not. A study conducted by the University of Toronto found that reading fiction increases a person's ability to understand the emotions of others. The study showed that participants who read literary fiction scored higher on tests measuring empathy than those who read non-fiction.
