📚✨ Dive into the fascinating intersection of literature and psychology! Did you know the average person has about 6,200 thoughts per day? Imagine capturing all those thoughts and emotions in the pages of a great book. Literature isn't just for entertainment; it's a profound study of human nature, motives, and actions, much like psychology itself.

🧠 We'll explore how literature provides a unique window into the human psyche through beloved characters and compelling narratives. From Shakespeare's introspective Hamlet to Jane Austen's sharp-witted Elizabeth Bennet, we see theory of mind, empathy, and psychological theories come to life. Discover how characters from novels can offer us insights into our own minds and emotions, enhancing our empathy and social skills.

📘 We also explore bibliotherapy, where books are used as therapeutic tools to help us navigate personal challenges and emotional growth. Plus, learn about the revolutionary discovery of mirror neurons and how reading can simulate real experiences, deepening our connection to characters.
