Best non- fictional books
Introduction
Reading has proven to be the best stress booster as it engages the mind by distracting it from other thoughts which cause hindrance to the mind of an individual. Reading a fictional novel/ book transports the mind to the land of fantasy whereas reading a non-fictional book could state facts about reality, thus enlightening the mind of an individual.
