Growth doesn’t come from standing still.
Reading is the most powerful low-cost, high-return tool I know for mental conditioning. It’s not passive entertainment, it’s mental training. When done with intention, reading rewires how you think, lead, decide, and relate to others.
Reading is a full-contact mental workout. Just a few proven benefits:
Sharper problem-solving – You practice analyzing complexity and making better decisions.
Massive stress reduction – Just some minutes of reading can reduce stress levels.
Improved focus – Reading trains sustained attention in a distraction economy.
Stronger communication – Vocabulary, clarity, and persuasion all improve.
Better memory – Visualization strengthens neural pathways.
Better sleep – Books calm the brain in ways screens never will.
Reading also gives you something deeper than skills: perspective.
Perspective builds appreciation, resilience, humility, and better leadership.
The best leaders I know are readers—because to lead others well, you must first lead yourself.
