I have read during 2023, 2024, and 2025. These books played an important role in shaping my mindset, discipline, and emotional strength. My favorite and most impactful books are 12 Rules for Life and Think Like a Monk. These books helped me understand responsibility, purpose, self-control, and inner peace, Other important books I read include Ego Is the Enemy, Seduction, The Art of Being Alone, and The Art of Not Overthinking. Each of these books taught me lessons about ego management, human behavior, emotional independence, and mental clarity. Through reading, I am working on self-growth and also focusing on improving my communication skills. Books are helping me become more confident in expressing my thoughts and understanding others better.
