Pros of reading fiction:
- It keeps you engaged
Cons of reading fiction:
- Though it provokes you to understand your emotions deeper, becoming a better at habits and productivity is still a job of non-fiction (mainly self-help).
Pros of reading non-fiction:
- It helps you make better habits and be more productive (mainly self-help)
Cons of reading non-fiction:
- Not technically a con, but a fiction is certainly more engaging than non-fiction.
What is the way out then?
Non-fiction (mostly self-help) writers should write out of their personal stories and then go on to share a lesson.
Fiction writers should go on to add something that also makes the readers be more productive or make better habits.
I know neither is the job of the authors putting those books out, but too much non-fiction leads to reading slump and too much fiction leads to uncontrolled addiction.
We need to find a middle ground.
