Features: The main purpose of the book "Reading Changes Lives" is to discuss the scientific and humanistic value of reading, comprehensively and holistically elaborate the immense significance of reading behavior on life and society, and thereby inspire a lasting passion for reading in schools and communities. How great is the humanistic value of reading? To answer this question, it is first necessary to clarify the traditional concepts of reading value, summarize historical lessons and experiences, while also grasping the characteristics of reading value and improving the approach and methods of exploration. The entire book is structured with chapters and arguments from 25 perspectives, employing dozens of modern disciplinary theories to intersect and integrate with "reading studies," thereby nurturing and generating various social values of reading. It covers all aspects, including individual and collective, material and spiritual, scientific and humanistic, industry and life, and can be said to push the boundaries of "reading" to its fullest extent! We do not intend to promote "reading" as a "panacea for all illnesses," but in the face of the persistent argument that "reading is useless," and recognizing China's "reading reality," we are compelled to strive to build China's own reading "nuclear power plant."
