Books that change deeply held beliefs with evidence

So I had many cherished beliefs completely destroyed by evidence from books.

First was my view of the death penalty. When I read through evidence it turned out it didn't deter crime and raised a barbaric society. Now I'm an amnesty international type person. And the fact that life imprisonment gives far more "Suffering" than basically expert assisted suicides ie execution.

2nd was about learning. Learning research books I've read tell me to do things no one typically does in a learning session, such as taking the final exam on your first class. Starting off with a real world application of the skill you want to learn to negate the problem of transfer.

Or that spaced repetition and interleaving contrary to intuition is far superior to daily mugging up, or reading, or listening to lectures. The best method being testing and active recall and quizzes. Worst being reading and listening to lectures.

3rd was the trans phenomenon. I was basically a transphobe but after learning the science behind it I felt my old self was a small brain flat earther or holocaust denier. Ever since I've cut out transphobes from my life.

Since then I'm curious on what beliefs I hold onto that are blatantly wrong but common wisdom says it's true.

I want to read books of this nature with extensive evidence behind it. NOT personal experiences of the author unless it is also backed by clear evidence.

Thanks in advance!
