Have you ever finished a book, closed the cover, and just… sat there, feeling like the world tilted slightly on its axis? You're not just processing the plot; the story is asking something of you. In this episode, we're diving deep into the practice of reflective reading. We'll move past "Did I like it?" to explore the powerful, sometimes uncomfortable, questions stories pose about our own lives, our morals, and our reality. What does a character's flaw reveal about your own? How does a fictional world expose the cracks in ours? This isn't about literary analysis; it's about letting stories become a catalyst for personal transformation.
