Stories are good for the brain.
Welcome to Part 4 of my The Commander and the Chief thread, known more succinctly as CC . It follows anything related to ... you guessed it ... The Commander and the Chief series.
Today's topic is books, any books, and what's inside ... the story. When engaged with a reader, ...
Stories are good for the brain.
Stories are nourishment for the mind, body, and soul. And scientific research backs up that claim. Evidence of positive effects on the brain includes heightened connectivity and neurological changes which are likened to the exercise of "muscle memory": Brain function 'boosted for days after reading a novel' - Science - News - The Independent
Throughout history, we've discovered ...
The Power of Story
... as a way to remember who we are and explore what we can be. And such power is extolled in this clip below:

Also, some research suggest that for a
book in print , we gain all these benefits:
1. Increased intelligence
2. Brain power boost
3. Increased empathy
4. Increased understanding of what is read
5. Possible way to fight Alzheimer's disease
6. Help in relaxation
7. Help in getting to sleep
8. Reading habit that is contagious to our neighbors
[reference: 8 Science-Backed Reasons to Read a (Real) Book | Real Simple ]
On the topic of the Power of the Story, I've crafted a novel in my latest eBook,
His Tribe of One , the first in
The Commander and the Chief series. And now that story is available in
paperback.
