I want to read more people’s stories… not just facts of people’s lives but also insight into the why behind choices and how their life went the way it went.
That being said, what are the best memoirs, biographies, maybe “inspirational “ books out there? Please nothing political, I just can’t with that right now but I’m open to pretty much anything else.

[Between a Heart and a Rock Place](https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/7626684)
Acid for the Children, by Flea. It’s his story before RHCP, and he really nails the vibe of growing up in that time and place.
All souls,
Child of the jungle,
Educated,
They poured fire on us from the sky,
Mutant message down under,
Night
Most of these are pretty intense, the least so probably being mutant message down under and child of the jungle. But they’re all incredible.
Some of my favorites:
Endurance
Grey is the color of hope
Know my name
Hearing birds fly
It’s what I do
We will be jaguars
Between two kingdoms
A house in the sky
The short and tragic life of Robert Peace
Thanks a lot Mr Kibblewhite – Roger Daltrey
Enduring Courage: Eddie Rickenbacker and the dawn of the age of [speed? Flight? I don’t know] – John F. Ross
My World – Peter Sagan & John Deering
I Know Why The Caged Bird Sings by Maya Angelou is wonderful
Down and Out in Paris and London by George Orwell
The Long Way by Bernard Moitessier.
Solito is outstanding and will read like fiction. It is political in the sense that it is about a child immigrating to the US in the 1990s, but those aspects are pretty limited.
