Isn't our thinking influenced by a lot of factors, including what we read? The his argument could be applied to everything we see, watch and do.
But doesn't the ability to relax, smile or be entertained also improve one's mental and physical well-being? I would argue that is just as important.
While I try to pick books that broadens my outlook/knowledge, there is nothing more relaxing after a stressful day than settling in with a book that has no use other than to entertain. Some people watch TV, I read.
