I love non-fiction books about human biology, cancer, social issues, near-death, survival books, and indigenous people. While primarily searching for recommendations in these categories, I would be willing to hear about other exceptional non-fiction books.
Some of my most favourite non-fiction reads were (no particular order):
- Poverty by America
- The In-between
- The Immortal life of Henrietta Lacks
- Everything is Tuberculosis
- The Anthropocene Reviewed: Essays on a Human-Centered Planet
- Evolution Gone Wrong
- No More Tears: The Dark Secrets of Johnson & Johnson
- What Happened To You?: Conversations on Trauma, Resilience, and Healing
- The Wager: A Tale of Shipwreck, Mutiny and Murder
- Ghost Boy: My Miraculous Escape from a Life Locked Inside My Own Body
- Dying to Be Me: My Journey from Cancer, to Near Death, to True Healing
