It increases your literacy tolerance.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

When you begin reading as a child, you may find that you can barely finish a 20 page book. But when you are an adult fantasy reader, you are often used to finishing 2000 paged books. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is because you are reading something that you are actually interested in seeing its conclusion, which is one of the massive benefits of fantasy. Soon, you’ll find you are comfortable reading mountains and mountains of books, even none fantasy ones. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

8. It improves problem solving skills<\/h2>\n\n\n

Fantasy also improves general problem solving skills.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

There is a phenomenon in psychology known as cognitive closure<\/em><\/strong>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is explained as the human desire to eliminate ambiguity and reach closure. The article on referenced earlier goes into details. It speaks of how there are two types of people. There are people who are comfortable living with no cognitive closure, and people who can’t bare living with no cognitive closure. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It was shown that people who read more tend to be exposed to a variety of characters, who experience complex situations. As a result, these people have to read the whole book before they can find closure to the character’s situation. Thus, they train their ability to tolerate living with no cognitive closure. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Those who master living with cognitive closure can better tolerate dealing with problems, and as a result, fantasy improves people’s problem solving skills. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

9. It improves your concentration skills<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Fantasy also improves your a bility to concentrate<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

This one must be the easiest to understand. If you are reading thousands of pages every few weeks, than your ability to pay attention also increases. It’s also worth noting that the attention span of humans has fallen to 8 seconds due to all the media we are consuming. Being able to concentrate on a single thing is nothing short of a super power in the modern day era.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Consider yourself a sort of superhero then. Once you can do that easily, you will be that much closer to mastering mastery.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
