Just the knowledge that a good book is awaiting one at the end of a long day makes that day happier.

About This Quote

"As one reads a book, the real-world elements of the surroundings fade away. The only thing one notices is the story." The quote above comes from "The Happiness Advantage" by Shawn Achor. This is an interesting book that talks about how reading books can help us live happier lives. One of the main reasons why we read is for enjoyment.

When we're reading, we're drawn into another world where everything fades away and we're left to focus only on the book. When you're reading a good book, you don't need any distractions because you can immerse yourself in the story and be transported to another place entirely.
