FICTION: We need to read more fiction, to be able to activate our fantasy, activate our imagination. That’s what our brain was made for. That’s what separates us from the rest of the animal kingdom. NON-FICTION: We read too much how-to stuff and we have turned into an ocean of how-to knowledge, but we have a hard time making something out of it, we have a hard time putting it together. Therefor, we need to alternate between fiction and nonfiction so our brain can do something meaningful with all the knowledge.
