Pages & Perspectives Raffealla Fernando

 

 

I like psychological, uplifting, romantic and sometimes emotional. 

 

 

I read Think Like a Monk by Jay Shetty just before the lockdown, and it completely captivated me. That book opened a door to a new way of thinking, it drew me into the world of uplifting reads and introduced me to meditation. What started as curiosity turned into a life-changing shift. Meditation grounded me, and the wisdom from that book became a foundation for how I live today. It didn’t just change my reading habits; it changed me. 

I still wouldn’t say that it had the biggest impact, but it definitely had a big impact. 

 

 

Currently, I’m reading Good Life - Good Vibes by Vex King. 

 

Ikigai - The Japanese Secret to a Long and Happy Life by Francesc Miralles and Hector Garcia. If you’re looking for a reading experience that heals, uplifts, and transforms, this is absolutely a book worth picking up

 

 

Physical books. I always carry a book in my bag; there’s something undeniably magical about them. The scent of paper and ink, the feel of a new book in your hands… It’s more than nostalgia, it’s energy. I genuinely believe that books carry a kind of energy, and when you hold one while reading, it grounds you, centres your focus, and opens a quiet portal within you. It’s not just reading, it’s absorbing, connecting, transforming. That’s something I truly believe in.

 

 

I don’t have a favourite author.  Currently, I love reading poetry and uplifting books. I also like good humour, romantic novels and fiction. 

 

 

Hate is such a big word, maybe I’ll use the word dislike here - I felt disturbed reading the book inside the mind of Jeffrey Dahmer. 

 

 

What an interesting question. 

 

 

Bed, beaches, cafes are my favourite places to read.

 

 

None of them. There will always be readers like me to find these gems.
