What is a good hobby/skill that most people should give a try, and why so? (lemmy.fmhy.ml)

What is something like a hobby or skill that you belive almost anybody should give a try, and what makes your suggestion so good compared to other things?

i feel like this is a descent question i guess.

Chopin does have pieces that aren't too bad, though of course few if any for beginners.
I've had no formal piano training (and my main instrument is guitar) yet can play several pretty well. Nocturne Op 9 No 2 for example is both beautiful and not too difficult.

Valse Op. 69 No 2 is harder but still doable.
Waltz Op 64 No 2 is probably harder still but with practice not as bad as it looks -- but it is likely the most difficult piece that I can play without skipping any parts. Really fun to play since it's at my edge at my ability and it feels amazing to pull it off when I feel it should be much too hard to my skill level.
