The latest episode of Braincraft explains how reading literary fiction can help boost your emotional intelligence.
Reading can teach us a lot - new vocabulary, facts about people and places far away. And, as Vanessa explains in the latest episode of Braincraft, research suggests it can also help us increase our emotional intelligence.
Emotional intelligence is our ability to understand how people feel and connect with them, as opposed to crystallised intelligence, which refers to the knowledge we memorise, and fluid intelligence, which is our ability to apply skills to a situation.
So is Jane Austen or non fiction better for boosting emotional smarts? Watch the latest episode of Braincraft above to find out which types of literature are best for your intelligence.
Go forth and read!
