Purpose:

One of the most important elements of “Learning to Love Learning” is the process of making emotional connections. If we care about a person, topic, or activity, we’re more likely to enjoy learning with that person, or studying that topic, and practicing that activity. A study performed by psychologists found that reading literary fiction significantly improved people’s ability to empathize with others. The power of empathy is one way that we can continue to build our emotional ties to learning.
