These ten non-fiction books will tell you about the world, about humanity, and even about yourself. Informative as well as entertaining, some are well-known and look at universal themes, while others are relatively unsung and are more narrowly focused.

Non-fiction’s power comes from its truth-telling. As we read them, these books come to define us as they allow us to better see the world and our place in it.

Their stories are every bit as captivating as fiction.
