How can books influence our moods?


I’m sure that all of us have read at least one book which had an important impact on his/her personality. We must admit that there are books which make us forget about our problems, involving us in their fictive universes. They can simply determinate us to abandon the reality and use our imagination so as to create our own world. This represents the cathartic character of books.

But, how can a book make us change our moods? Is this possible? Many scientists agreed that when people are upset, angry with somebody or disappointed in love, they prefer reading romantic novels so as to make them escape from their sadness. Well, I can tell you that this works for me too. Reading a book which presents love as a main theme will probably make me cry and express my feelings in order to get through easier with all my problems. It is said that when people are happy, they have bigger expectations, so they start reading adventure books and even science-fiction literature, which is known by everybody as a specific type of writing which help us get busy.

Literature has a huge impact on us. Reading should be for everybody an activity which manages to bring together two different purposes. It could help us have fun and in the same time, learn something new. It could make us see life through different eyes and decide which are the good and the bad parts of it. Reaching a fantastic world, could make us compare it with reality and decide what we should do so as to live in a better world.

Many people believe that they couldn’t live without their favourite books. Each of us has a particular way of seeing life, so we all have some books which manage to make us feel like we weren’t human anymore and we would live in a perfect world. Sometimes, people find themselves in their favourite characters, comparing their appearances, thoughts with those fictive persons, inspired from reality. This could be a good thing as long as these people are aware of the fact that their models are only some inventions, which were brought to life thanks to their “creators’” imagination. Life can be presented from different perspectives, using not only good elements, but also bad ones, so reading could really help us find out the truth.

In conclusion, none of us should ever abandon the universe of literature. If we keep reading, which means feeding our souls and our minds by providing them information, we will be able to overcome all our difficulties. So, never stop achieving new purposes in order to be successful! By using a book, we could travel all over the world, meeting new civilizations and comparing people. To sum up, I can definitely say that a book is the most important treasure of a human being!
