Visiting public libraries since I was a child has contributed to my wealth of knowledge, experiences (through exposure to what's possible, and promoting imagination), relationships (by reading examples of how people get along well, both in fiction and nonfiction), and health (in this case a subset of knowledge, put into practice. Michael Pollan's advice "Eat food [not ultra-processed "food"], not a lot [I change this now to "not too much at once or overall"], mostly [a variety of] plants" has risen to the top. Through relationships I have access to enough money (spouse works, I take care of our child who has disabilities, and I do some part-time work found through getting to know community members), and I have reclaimed more of my time, for activities with lasting good effects, by quitting videogames- I feel far more fulfilled after reading a book or gardening food than I have playing videogames, with a few memorable exceptions involving teamwork.
