A good book may let you learn from a character’s experience

According to an article in Chatelaine's magazine, becoming immersed in a good book may let you learn from a character's experience and take on some of their positive traits. 

Some examples were:

Hermione Granger: She’s not only the smartest student at Hogwarts, she also stays calm and collected while fighting dark wizards. Harry Potter series, J.K. Rowling.

Jane Eyre: When faced with sacrificing everything she believes in for love and fortune. Jane always does the right thing. Jane Eyre, Charlotte Brontë.

Harriet Welsch: She overcomes adversity, reconciles with friends and never becomes jaded by her experiences in the world. Harriet The Spy, Louise Fitzhugh.
