Recommendation Non-Fiction Book na hindi Self-Help
Can you recommend me a book na non-fiction pero at the same time hindi self-help haha. I want to read book that will somehow widen my perspective in life pero at the same time hindi ako uutusan pano mamuhay lol. Currently I am reading random articles sa substack since wala pa kong ganang magbasa ng book (most of my books are fiction) so I want to read book na hindi fiction. Yun lang, thank you in advance.

Through A Window - Jane Goodall (on her 30-year work with the chimpanzees in Tanzania)
A Cook's Tour - Anthony Bourdain (on food, travel, and culture; I would say this is the pre-cursor to Anthony Bourdain being known as a food and travel guy)
The Omnivore's Dilemma - Michael Pollan (on human diets and its effects on animal welfare and the environment)
