Episode 51: Reading for Joy, Not Pressure

In this episode, I talk about reading—not as a task or an obligation, but as a deeply human habit. I share my personal experience of growing up with books, especially fiction, and how stories shaped my curiosity, emotions, and way of exploring the world.We discuss the common question, “What should I read?” and why the answer depends on your purpose, not on rules set by others. I also reflect on the difference between fiction and self-help books, and how fiction teaches us important life lessons indirectly, through emotions and imagination.For English learners, this episode offers a gentle reminder: you don’t always have to read English books to improve English. Reading in your native language—fiction or non-fiction—helps build emotional awareness, creativity, and structured thinking, which naturally supports language learning.This episode is an invitation to read with freedom, curiosity, and enjoyment.
