about history, human nature or science. Examples would be Antony Beevor, Atul Gawande or Carl Sagan.
I feel like everyone could read/listen to “Man’s Search for Meaning” by Frankl
Dragons of Eden by Carl Sagan and Silent Spring by Rachel Carson
If you’ve never studied socialism, Blackshirts and Reds is a fantastic intro to the USSR. Better yet, just listening to the author’s 1986 Lecture is phenomenal.
Pema Chodron’s Welcoming the Unwelcomed is good. So is nonviolent communication by Marshall Rosenberg.
I have a big list, I’ll send it. One would be
Martin Rees - Just Six Numbers
Dan Dennett - kinds of minds
Steven pinker - how the mind works
Aldous Huxley - The doors of perception
Brian Greene - The fabric of the cosmos
Richard Feynman - surely you’re joking Mr Feynman
Carl Sagan - pale blue dot
