Essay-esk nonfiction

Hello there, I finished my list of books to read and am looking for new literature.

My favorite types of books are nonfiction books that read like an essay, usually with some sort of thesis the author is trying to explain & defend. So noy textbooks, but rather books that are written to inform and/or persuade.

To give some examples, my 3 favorite books are the following:

• How Facism Works. Its a book where the author explains the traits of facism, how a facism government comes to power, and why facist governments are terrible for most individuals living in them.

• Invisible Women. Its a sociology book about different areas where "male default thinking" attempts to make gender-nuetral (sometimes sex-nuetral, depending on the chapter) designs that aren't actually very efficient or helpful to women. She talks about how work days are set up, tool sizes, city infrastructure, and even just language end up working better for men then for women.

• The Way Out. This psychology book explains that most people with chronic pain actually have a psych problem, not a physical problem. Which sounds like a bad thing, but it's actually a good thing because it means that most chronic pain is plastic. And you can retrain nueroplastic pain to no longer be recognized as painful, but rather as just nuetral sensations. And over a little bit of time utilizing somatic tracking (a teqnique the book explains), you'll stop being bothered by the same sensations your body was recognizing as chronic pain, even though the same sensations are still there.
