The first way to utilize reading for
emotional development is in the building of a good self-esteem. The amount of
information and depth of knowledge you have will directly influence both how
you see yourself as well as how others regard you. A man who does not read will
be bereft of knowledge. He will have nothing to say when people who are better
informed are talking about a subject of discourse, and will have to settle for
what others tell him. This does not help the ego in any way. So by cultivating
a reading habit, you will not just be enhancing your intellect, but you will
also be giving your self-esteem a boost as well.
Another way reading can be deployed for
emotional development is in the formulation of personal polices and
philosophies of life. The more you know, the better you become and the more you
are able to put under check you erratic feelings and desires and coordinate
them to make the most of yourself.
