Book of the year

Scott Adams's "From 0 to 1" "How to fail at almost anything and still win big" is a must read if you are in search of meanings.

Scott tells the story of his life and struggles: starting from the bottom till setting up the life he enjoys.

Movie of The Year

You might think that King Richard is just a tribute to Williams's sisters journey and nothing more.

I just ask to not judge a movie by its cover and give it a try.

Beautiful story of struggles and dreams of Williams family and surely Will Smith's genius is going to make you speechless after watching.

Other recommendations:

• Coda
• Amsterdam
• The Northman

TV-Show of the year

Wednesday by Netflix is a new take on an old story seasoned with a subtle humor.

Fascinating camera work and marvelous Jenna Ortega playing the role of a young sociopath is just another level of art.

Other recommendations:

• House of the Dragon
• Ted Lasso

Course of the year

Жопа by Evan Zamesin is definitely the course of the year for me.

I think 2022 doesn't require much of a description. It's just a Жопа.

Achievement of the year

Driver License.

• Theory

  Just take varord.am's course. It has everything you need to prepare.

• Driving

  Just practice and avoid fastdrive's course. Their drivers are qyart and sexist.

Memory of the year

Leo Andrés Messi. World Cup. Qatar.
