Thanks for A2A. Perusal of books, especially, quality books is a wholesome activity for the human brain. It could help you in multiple ways:Get smarter than others. Everyone likes a well-read man; especially in a public or private gathering. Whilst working in the U.K.; I was often invited at my boss’ dinner parties at his manor that he used to host often; and he took pride in introducing me always as — “… he is a well-read man”. He himself was an Eton+Oxford combo; had a private library of over 10,000 books.It takes you places. Either owing to education, conferences or for work.It enables you to utilize your time better. I try and finish a 400-page paperback every time I fly. Once I check-in, to boarding the flight, through the flight, and till the plane lands; is a good few hours. Instead of looking at people or watching Bollywood movies; I prefer reading because I know; I will gain something new from it; and it could be helpful in my life.It enables you to be more understanding about life. Appreciate life and its very many trepidation and tribulation.It enables you to read about facts and events that shaped our past.

Understanding why, where, when, how and what people say or do; mean and say; and others is vital for eventual success in life. Reading a lot of Human Physchology books, e.g. Manwatching by Desmond Morris and others is vital.It enables you to be proud of something if you have a personal collection worthy of a show-off. Everytime I have a visitor(s) in my apartment; they stop in my study-room; and look at my personal collection and gasp!

What book can help me love myself?

I have read a LOT of self help books. Mostly because I needed a lot of help, I suppose. Nowadays I find they give me a kind of mental indigestion, because they load me up with things I should be doing or thinking or being or planning and I have got fed up with all those things. I began to feel bullied by them.Here is the book on the subject of self love that I am currently studying:The Lazy Guru's Guide to Life: The Mindful Art of Achieving More by Doing Lessby Laurence ShorterFirst I read it through which didn’t take long. I quickly realised that it is a small book of very great value, so I have decided that 2017 will be my year of the lazy guru. I will consider one phrase or sentence each day and put it into practise to the best of my ability. (2016 was my year of the Headless Way - that was interesting!)Although the title suggests that this is a book about achieving and doing, it is very strong on many aspects of self love, including how to love your bad feelings and get ‘shoulds’ under control. The achieving and doing are sort of side effects.I also like a simple quote on this subject from the novel “Fierce Invalids Home from Hot Climates” by Tom Robbins:“ ‘…And that’s why when you’ve exhibited the slightest tendency toward self-importance, I’ve reminded you that you and me - you and I: excuse me - may be every bit as important as the President or the pope or the biggest prime-time icon in Hollywood, but that none of us is much more than a pimple on the ass-end of creation, so let’s not get carried away with ourselves. Preventive medicine, boy. It’s preventive medicine.’‘But what about self-esteem?’‘Heh! Self-esteem is for sissies. Accept that you’re a pimple and try to keep a lively sense of humour about it. That way lies grace - and maybe even glory.’All the while that his grandmother was assuring him that he was a cosmic zit, she was also exhorting him never to accept the limitations that society would try to place on him. Contradictory? Not necessarily. It seemed to be her belief that one individual’s spirit could supercede, eclipse, and outsparkle the whole disco ball of history, but that if you magnified the pure spark of spirit through the puffy lens of ego, you risked burning a hole in your soul. Or something roughly similar.”

How can reading books help me grow?

Books (in any form) are the best training for the reader’s understanding, imagination and thinking capability. Books, in my view, are the windows to all accumulated knowledge of the world, past and present. Watching a video allows a huge part of your braining to sit back and simply absorb via sight and sound. Reading requires actively taking part in the process of learning, which, in turn trains your analytical capability.First, you have to understand the meaning of the words you are reading. If you don’t understand the meaning, you should look it up. Second, you have to understand the author’s meaning, not just the individual words. What is he.she trying to say and why.If you’re reading a novel, you must mentally use your imagination to picture the scene, the action, and the emotional interplay of the dialogue. All other forms of communication require far less mental participation. Perhaps radio would come in second to reading.For me, the bottom line is this. Every single word in a language is package of meaning. Read the word barn. A picture should explode in your thoughts. “A farmer carrying a pitchfork walked into the barn.” That should paint a detailed picture in your thoughts.The more complex the words you learn, the more complex become the ideas you are capable of creating and understanding.Words and phrases are the ammunition of thought wars.Just my thoughts.

Is The Help based on a true story and an actual book?

The author Kathryn Stockett stresses that the book is a work of fiction and there are people out there that claim that their story is mentioned in there somewhere. After I watched the film and after watching it, I came to wonder whether this story was a work of fiction or whether it was fact. Later on I read the book and discovered that it was actually a work of fiction.Then I came across this article online after seeing the film, http://newsone.com/1452655/the-h... So really I am not sure and its hard to say. Nevertheless I thought it was a great movie.
