About the Book: A Journey Within

MERAKI [Fuel for the Soul] is more than just a book — it is a movement. Rooted in the Greek word "Meraki," which means to do something with soul, creativity, and love, this self-help guide delves into the often-overlooked yet profoundly impactful realm of inner engineering.
