It introduces you to different characters, lifestyles, experiences. It gives you the insight into another persons thought processes and way of experiencing the world, subtly changing your own, strengthening compassion and empathy. The mind doesn\u2019t know the difference between imagination and memories &#8211; it uses the same neural pathways. So you gain depth and complexity, it liberates you and broadens your mind. It takes you to a different reality and allows you to put your own thoughts and concerns into context &#8211; we see how small we are so any problems or worries become smaller. I sleep better, have fabulous dreams and I\u2019m sure my heart beats a bit slower and my brain waves take a different rhythm. So when I get back to work I approach from a fresh, happier angle and feel less put upon. When I engage with others I\u2019m more interested in them and less preoccupied in my own head.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Jules E.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">For me it&#39;s about two ends of the same spectrum &#8211; escapism and using imagination, but it also keeps me grounded.
