From improving empathy and creativity to staving off dementia, reading has countless benefits.

3. Online Learning makes us more empathetic. • Mirror neurons, neurons that fire in our brains when you act yourselves or see an action performed by someone else, were discovered in the mid-90s. Their discovery led to a better understanding of the neuroscience of empathy. • One study found that literary fiction, which simulates your everyday life, increases your ability to feel empathy for others. Participants were given either literary fiction or nonfiction reading material, and, once done, they were given an empathy test. Those that read the literary fiction proved to have the most empathic response.

4. Learning makes us more mentally flexible. • Reading poetry and other texts that require the reader to question meaning has been shown to cause fascinating changes to patterns of brain activity. In one study, people were asked to rate texts based on their "poeticness" and how much they had to rethink their meaning while reading. When reading more complex texts, brain scans showed increased activity in critical areas of the brain as well as heightened literary awareness. • Greater mental flexibility allows people better to adapt their thoughts and behaviors to evolving situations – people of greater mental flexibility are more likely to seek out new solutions rather than just being led by habit.

5. Learning improves rationality and creativity. • Reading has repeatedly been linked to creativity. One study found that, after reading fiction, people have less of a "need for closure." • These findings suggest that reading fictional literature could lead to better procedures for processing information generally, including those of creativity. Due to the ambiguous nature of fiction, readers are forced to be more accepting of ambiguity, which is believed to be a critical factor in creativity.
