I love reading. Lots of us at Heights do. And even when I don’t have time to curl up with a book, I listen to them. (Yes, that counts. Don’t be like that.)
It’s fun. It’s interesting. It feeds my curiosity. And yes, you guessed it, it’s good for the brain. We’ve mentioned it before, but this is neuroplasticity in action. It’s a scientific term, true, But it’s just the brain creating, repairing, and reorganising the neural pathways and connections between cells. Becoming more flexible, if you like.
From emotional and psychological functions to the physical processes your brain controls, neuroplasticity helps your brain work smoothly.
And if you need a bit of reading inspiration, I asked the team for what they’ve been hooked on recently. This is what they recommend:
