Why do we need to read Books(Non-Fiction)?

Most successful people read books and continue to learn new things. Gaining confidence through knowledge improvisation. Someone who has knowledge thinks wisely.

In my opinion, most authors draw inspiration for their books from personal experiences. It entails learning from their mistakes and imparting their knowledge to the world.

So what I'm saying is that reading books enables us to comprehend the errors that authors made over their careers. Why should we repeat the same mistakes in our lives if we learn about them early on? We shall advance in life more quickly as a result of this.
