Non-fiction books to make you suck less. I go into new books with the attitude that they need to earn my attention, either through the quality of writing or the quality of information. I have a personal rule, if I get 10% of the way into the book and am still not enjoying it, I put it down and move on. Life is too short and there are too many books in the world. And because so many of my fans and readers ask me about what I read, what my favorites are, what books help me be a less awful human, well, I decided to make a video on some of the best non-fiction books out there… in my opinion. Some of them are critically acclaimed and you’ve probably heard of them before. Others are more obscure. But regardless, I think all of them are worth your time.
