I like your personality, you seem so passionate about the books you're recommending. My favorite nonfiction books are Bonk by Mary Roach (it's super funny to me, and pretty edgy for nonfiction!), and How to Read Literature Like a Professor (also funny, and will make your TBR list bigger). Reality is Not What it Seems is really interesting too, especially toward the end (it changed the way I think about infinity and space). I actually really loved Hyperspace by Michio Kaku, but I could only get through 1/3 of it because I was in middle school and it started getting a little complex for me. It influenced my life though, I really enjoyed the part where he explained how physics influenced art.

Thanks for sharing these ideas. A non-fiction that totally hooked me was the Tastemakers by David Sax (on audio) all about food trends.

Based on your description and enthusiasm for Empire of Blue Water I immediately had to add it to my Goodreads want to read list! I have never heard of it but it sounds really interesting. Thank you for putting it on my radar! Non-fiction books are kinda trippy in that there are SO MANY I've never heard of and they're will be SO MANY non-fiction books I will NEVER hear of.

Moon Dust sounds great. Definitely going to pick that up. Thanks for your awesome list, and as always, for the fantastic video. I always love hearing what you're reading/what you've read, and loved.

Great non-fiction haul, Jakob. Can't wait to read more about pirates.

I have a feeling you might like Oliver Sacks-- if you've never read anything by him, you might be familiar with the Robin Williams film "Awakenings" which was based on Sacks' book of the same title (and if you haven't seen it, then that's another recommendation!). He died last year, but he wrote quite a few books about various neurological disorders, featuring some really interesting case studies.

I'm a psych major, and I really liked Thinking Fast and Slow by Daniel Kahneman. He is a psychologist who won the nobel prize on economy. In that book he talks about how we process information with two systems, one fast and intuitive one, and one slow and logical. So he explains how these two systems make us choose the wrong option and misjudge others and stuff like that

I barely ever read non-fiction and I'm keen to read more (might set it as a goal for next year). Added 3 of these to my TBR so thanks for getting me started on the way to greatness.
