Books influence our minds tremendously. They helped me a lot in hard times, they made me think more mature... But it depends on what kind of books you choose to read. Some have bigger impact than others.

Reading can definitely greatly influence and change your life. Especially if a certain type/kind of book falls into your lap during the right time in your life. I went through sepsis and while recovering, I read a book that still sticks out as having a large impact on my life during that time. The book is called Help Me to Heal and it made me realize a lot about how being healthy includes having a healthy mindset and a healthy lifestyle with healthy habits.

Yes, reading has changed my life. The first English book I read was about how to interact with people by Dale Carnegie and the book "Seven Habits". Since then, how I perceive the world has changed quite a bit; I've become more optimistic about various life opportunities.

Absolutely, reading has the power to profoundly influence my life. Many people find that books can offer new perspectives, inspire change, or provide guidance during pivotal moments. Whether it's a self-help book that motivates personal growth, a novel that offers a fresh outlook, or a biography that imparts valuable lessons, literature can have a significant impact.

I like to read books on the comfort of my home sitting on my study table where nothing can disturb me and I can easy transport myself into the world of the books.

I can say with certainty that it does because it did happen to me. The first self-help book I read helped me shape my dream and I am still thankful to God Almighty God that I read that book at the right time
