IMHO, the best investment for value addition to your life is a book. I love collecting books and try to get through the good ones atleast once.
Here is a glimpse of our library at home (which I happened to rearrange in Aug this year). Yet to get through many of them.

2022 has been a good year for reading. Having written my book in 2021 I was able to appreciate much more in every book I read (especially the amount of work that the author had put in).
These are the books that I enjoyed reading this year (I am yet to finish a few of them). Let me know if there are any good books you have come across in 2022.
