Anyone got any good non-fiction book recommendations? I've recently polished off Michael Pollan's "How to change your mind" and David SinClair's "Why we age and why we don't have to." Pollan's book was all about psychedelic drugs, and was frankly quite boring. SinClair's book was great and I highly recommend it. So now I'm looking for my next book.

I'm currently listening to Food: A cultural culinary history. It's pretty good although the part about the Americas and Japanese cultural history had me pausing and ranting.
Factfulness by Hans Rosling is very very good and helps put things into perspective.
If you haven't read The Righteous Mind by Jonathan Haidt, you NEED TO DO THAT RIGHT NOW. It is a slog, but it is worth your time.

Thanks Kattelen, I'm familiar with Haidt, and have really enjoyed his stuff in the past. I have not read that book though. As of right now, it's my leading contender for the next book!

And I know what you're talking about with Pollan. I've tried to like his work but I just can't. Too many errors. Too many times going against other research and having his own agenda leaves me arguing with a book and wanting to throw it across the room. He's the only author I've actually returned his stuff because he made me too mad.

sometimes when I hit a reading lull I like to go back to the classics. Dune, To Kill a Mockingbird
call it what you will...he is not definitely not anywhere near the top of the list for QB's that I would choose needing a FG or touchdown drive late in the game.

How to argue and win every time Gerry Spence
I would encourage every person on this forum that sticks their head in the sand and never looks at the world around them to read it. You may not agree with someone else all the time but you should at least be able to walk in their shoes momentarily.

For total relaxation I like Louis L'Amour. One of his best, to me, was Last of the Breed.

Just want to make folks smile, and spit coffee on their keyboard.
If you put beans in your chili, you don't know beans about chili.
God doesn't create temporary people, you will spend eternity somewhere. Choose wisely.
