Can Reading Make You Happier?

"We draw on the same brain networks when we’re reading stories and when we’re trying to guess at another person’s feelings."

"For all avid readers who have been self-medicating with great books their entire lives, it comes as no surprise that reading books can be good for your mental health and your relationships with others, but exactly why and how is now becoming clearer, thanks to new research on reading’s effects on the brain."
