When reading, you’re in full silence because reading connects directly to your brain. In silence, you seek for more; in silence, your brain is clear and focuses. Thus, you learn and grow, and therefore you feel and see from the point of view about everything in life.

No doubt at all, reading is "exercising" the mind.

Fully agree with that. Unfortunately, reading is the least supported activity in our reagion and this ought to be changed if we are to prosper.

excellent, Brain Tracy is a great professional in the management aspects. I recommend everyone in the field of management to read his book "Create your own future".

To be more precise : Mental exercise is a bit different from reading and is the real exercise for the brain.

Very well said and quoted...but first of all we must realize who we are ? Are we mind or body ? reading is broad word it depend what we are reading ...some reading are good for mind and others for body. like if we are reading how to cook pasta or pizza some culinary book than we are thinking of mind as well body. Some novel or fiction books can leads to the fantasy world & you occupy yourself in such state. which is a temporary climax and nothing to do with body.

Reading spiritual books always put us confidence in ourself and it works well with mind and body.  If your mind is not functioning well no matter how well you exercise you can not improve your body.

exercise can shape your muscles but mind makes it work rightly for you. so read which makes your brain think logically and sharply. Readings which has moral values can strengthen human relationship which is the need of the hour.
