Nonfiction for people who don’t usually like nonfiction

I am an enthusiastic fiction reader but often struggle to get into nonfiction. I'm not looking for memoirs. Here are some thoughts to be more specific:

– I'm interested in science but don't have an extensive science background.

– I like history but would like to avoid a lot of violent/traumatizing history due to being stressed out and unhappy about current US politics

– I also like linguistics

– I imagine I'll have a hard time getting into technology or finance topics

– I'd prefer not too much medicine or psychology because I'm a burnt out healthcare worker

I did enjoy the following:

Braiding Sweetgrass

Everything is Tuberculosis

Thanks!
