Less scrolling. Less noise. More pages.
I’m sharing 8 of my favorite summer reads in these photos — books that feel like cool shade, deep breath, and a glass of something sparkling. Some are wise, some witty, some a little wild… but all remind me that summer is giving my mind time to wander.
Because turning off the phone (even just sometimes) is a quiet rebellion.

That alone can be deeply fulfilling.
Among young people, I often hear: “I need a break after school — definitely not ready to work yet.”
And yes, rest is important. But months of colourful travel? Does it really refill your soul?
Or does it eventually create a feeling of being… unneeded?
That’s what Beyoncé means — and I would even go a bit further:

- Taking our work seriously — because it brings meaning, service, and contribution.
