Here is my list of non-fictions books covering themes such as human progress, societal challenges, psychology, history, environmental issues, and much more. If you feel like the world as presented by mainstream sources is lacking depth or isn’t congruent with your experiences, then you might find something of interest in the list below. Sorry for the Amazon links on the book titles…they are convenient and nothing more.
