Do you think the UAE and Dubai are horrible and should not exist? Do you plan on visiting this place? Do you just feel like getting rid of some prejudices? Read this book.

A clear recommendation for anyone. We all are victims to our brains’ stupidness, even the smartest of us. Knowing about how we lie to ourselves is the first step to improvement. This sounds tough but the author keeps it very light and funny.

Finally I made it to Chamonix to see what the fuss is about. Across 101 km and 6,100 m of climbing through three countries, the race showed me breathtaking highs and relentless lows.

Racism mostly stems from misunderstanding intentions and a lack of communication. Tahsim Durgun is a young social media personality who cleverly fights for reducing racism by using humor and education. His first book explains his heritage.

This work of fiction was suggested to me often over the years, and I’ve finally read it. No regrets — a fun ride. The author’s eccentricity was the final trigger, and it’s been entertaining to watch this calculated story unfold.
