i don’t know how important the non fiction element is for you, but there’s a genre of japanese fiction (translated to english) called healing fiction that might help!

Garlic and Sapphires by Ruth Reichl. It’s her memoir about her time as the New York Times Restaurant critic. Lot of interesting stuff about chefs and food.
Be More Bird by Candida Meyrick- A woman training a hawk and the lessons she learns during it.
Braiding Sweetgrass by Robin Wall Kimmerer- about relations in the natural world between plants and humans.

A Walk in the Woods by Bill Bryson maybe?
Everything is Tuberculosis or other John Green if you are a John Green fan (honestly, grew up reading him so feels like reading a pal)
I haven’t read it yet but bought for a similar purpose: The Hidden Life of Trees by Peter Wohlleben. Innocuous yet interesting.
I also love groupie memoirs for a fun nonfiction read: I’m With the Band by Pamela De Barres is a wild ride and so fun in the way that she writes.
If you are looking for a cozy writer but sad topics: Just Kids by Patti Smith (or just anything by Patti Smith). Her writing is comforting but the topics can be heartbreaking.
Not nonfiction but if you are just looking for cozy, my top recommendation is Legends and Lattes by Travis Baldree or even returning to a favorite that you loved from childhood. That always helps me a lot! I always go back to Anne of Green Gables or Wart in The Once and Future King.

Here’s what I did when going through a breakup. I reread my CHILDHOOD favorites. Ramona The Pest. Whatever you loved as a kid is a safe choice and nostalgic.

I’m right here with you (going through a breakup) so thanks for asking the question. My current romance novel is NOT it.
