These Non-Fiction Books Might Change The Way You See The World

It’s never been easier to enrich your understanding of the world. From podcasts to short-form video journalism, there are a ton of ways to continue learning on a busy schedule. While many podcasts and videos do a commendable job condensing big-picture issues into bite-sized packages, sometimes you want to go deep on a particular subject. The best non-fiction books let you do just that.

To state the obvious, there are a lot of different kinds of non-fiction books, ranging from self-help to history to memoirs to current affairs. We’ve picked three popular books that take a little bit from each of those categories. There’s everyday life advice from a four-star Navy Admiral, an in-depth Pulitizer-prize-winning book on of one of the most consequential wars in history, and an account of North Korean life that part personal memoir, part journalistic document.

All of these options are available on Kindle, as an audiobook, or in good old-fashioned print, and they all just might change your life.
