Some people say that reading fiction doesn’t provide many benefits for readers compared to reading non-fiction. However, behind these people’s thoughts, reading fiction has several benefits that can be gained when we read it, especially in terms of improving ourselves and relationships with others.

First, fiction is believed to grow our empathic capacity. We can learn how to understand and care more about everyone in the book you read and have an experience you’ve never had before. You can magically get this from reading fiction!

Second, did you know that fiction can open your mind? A study published in the Journal of Applied Social Psychology stated that there were differences in students’ behavior for the better when they were asked to read passages about discrimination from the Harry Potter’s books. It’s also very interesting, isn’t it?

The benefits provided by fiction are not only these two and we’re sure that you have also experienced many other positive things besides those previously mentioned. If you don’t mind, it would be even better if you share your stories about the good things you get from reading fiction down below!
