One of the resons that I read is to better myself. For example I want to be as happy as possible so I read The Happiness Project. It gave me some good ideas about how to go and do things to make me happy. I have also read other books to help me be more creative and such. I have lacked a place to put down where I could blog and keep up with what I have learned and how I aplly it to mu everyday life. I thought why not start a new feauture where I could blog about how I am coming along with my goals in diffrent areas. I could provide details on how I am coming along with my happiness project or how I am doing in my quest to become more creative etc.
I will read lots of different books of what is called Positive Psychology and then implement them into my life. I feel that while reading is good to give one an escape one should always strive to be a better person and reading can help with that. We can take the lessons we learn while reading and apply them to our every day lives.
