No, not really.

I mean, reading a lot as a kid definitely helped develop strong language skills, but I don't think that's really been furthered in a way that helps my career by continuing to read as an adult. And I'm sure my reading benefits me as a person, which indirectly benefits my career, but there are a number of alternative hobbies that I could pick up that would do the same or similar. Like, there are probably lot of people for whom reading is not the best way of "reducing stress" or "sparking creativity."

Perhaps it would be different if I was reading nonfiction aimed at professional development and my specific industry, but I don't. Reading is a hobby and I'm happy with that.
