Reading a wide variety of subject matters is a key element of expanding one’s horizons, regardless of the sector within which you work.
By engaging with a range of topics – such as philosophy, history and social psychology – you are enhancing your knowledge pool, expanding your vocabulary and strengthening your analytical skills.
These benefits are both demonstrable and transferable; they will stand you in good stead as you write proposals, prepare presentations and engage with the professional world around you.
You may also be pleasantly (or unpleasantly) surprised at which books you have in common with your clients and colleagues.
So, please read outside your comfort zone and enjoy the multiple advantages it will bring to you personally and professionally.
