What are some of the best non-fiction books for active reading?

Here are a few great non-fiction books that encourage active reading:

1. "Sapiens: A Brief History of Humankind" by Yuval Noah Harari
2. "Thinking, Fast and Slow" by Daniel Kahneman
3. "Educated" by Tara Westover
4. "The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks" by Rebecca Skloot
5. "The Power of Habit" by Charles Duhigg Would you like more details on any of these?

Yes, can you tell me more about "Sapiens"?

"Sapiens: A Brief History of Humankind" explores the history of our species from the Stone Age to the modern age. Harari discusses how biology and history have defined us and how we have shaped the world. It's engaging and thought-provoking, making it perfect for active readers who enjoy reflecting on big ideas.

What about "Thinking, Fast and Slow"?

"Thinking, Fast and Slow" by Daniel Kahneman delves into the dual systems of thought: the fast, intuitive, and emotional system, and the slower, more deliberate, and logical system. Kahneman, a Nobel laureate, uses fascinating examples to illustrate how these systems shape our judgments and decisions, making it a compelling read for those interested in psychology.
