Fiction Series: Part One

Fiction novels allow us to experience life in ways that are otherwise unavailable to us. Recent research in neuroscience suggests that reading literary fiction helps people develop some of the most valuable skills necessary for a successful life. Some of these skills include: self-discipline, self-awareness, creative problem-solving, empathy, learning agility, adaptiveness, flexibility, positivity, rational judgment, generosity, and kindness, among others. Novels like Mark Twain's The Prince and the Pauper and Robert Louis Stevenson’s Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde offer us the opportunity to expand our minds and strengthen our critical thinking skills.
