Want to make a friend? Be a friend! Sure, the saying is true, but around here, we like to take it a step further. If you want to be a friend, read a friend.
That’s right; reading helps us develop what psychologists call “prosocial behaviors”, which is a fancy way of saying any behavior that benefits others! Think: volunteering, cooperating, sharing, and contributing to the community. In other words, studies prove that reading makes us better people with stronger, healthier friendships.
