Reading has always been one of my favorite ways to unwind and recharge. Because I work intensively and manage multiple responsibilities, I see books as a mechanism of escape that allows me to disconnect from daily stress and immerse myself in new ideas, perspectives, and stories. For me, reading is not only a hobby, but also a tool to relax, stimulate creativity, and stay inspired in both my personal and professional life.
