Here are some of the non-fiction books I’ve enjoyed most this year:
The Soul of a Woman, by Isabel Allende
The Idealist: Jeffrey Sachs and the Quest to End Poverty, by Nina Munk
I Hate the Ivy League: Riffs and Rants on Elite Education, by Malcolm Gladwell (from what I can tell it is several podcast episodes compiled into an audiobook, but it was good)
What a Fish Knows: The Inner Lives of Our Underwater Cousins, by Jonathan Balcombe
Brotopia: Breaking Up the Boys’ Club of Silicon Valley, by Emily Chang
Science Fictions: How Fraud, Bias, Negligence, and Hype Undermine the Search for Truth, by Stuart Ritchie (I think that this one is particularly appropriate for EAs, considering how we are trying to figure out what actually works)
How to Be Perfect: The Correct Answer to Every Moral Question, by Michael Schur (the most lighthearted and playful moral philosophy book I’ve ever encountered)
