Books

• Reading is a very relaxing thing for some. Reading not only helps you to escape into another world and be a different person but it also helps with your intellectual wellbeing.
• Even just reading for 15-20 minutes a day(which is the recommended amount ) could greatly improve your intellectual wellbeing.
