I like Blink – Gladwell, and Thinking Fast and Slow – Kahneman.
Because they gave me fascinating insights to the human mind which could also apply to my everyday life.
But I'm also interested in nonfiction ones with historical significance, like Silent Spring – Carson.
I also liked Plan B 4.0 – Brown, because its basically a list of mind blowing facts and stats, one after another
