One of my favorite books ever is American Prometheus about Robert Oppenheimer (especially relevant as the movie comes out this month). You’ve probably read it but The Price of Tomorrow (Jeff Booth) is excellent. A couple of my recent favorites are The Comfort Crisis (Michael Easter) and From Strength to Strength (Brooks). I always recommend Being Mortal (Gawande) because it’s a good taste of mortality mixed with the realization that humans need purpose. When Breath Becomes Air is amazing if you don’t mind reading something about someone dying. The Emperor of All Maladies is amazing as it’s basically a biography of the history of cancer. The Rise and Fall of the Third Reich is an excellent (and very readable) account of Nazi Germany if you like historical stuff. Catastrophic Care is an awesome recommendation for potential fixes for our healthcare system. A Brief History of Time is a fun read if you’re willing to not understand a lot of what is written by Hawking. I’d recommend 1984 and Animal farm too. Cat’s Cradle by Vonnegut is amazing but sounds like you’ve probably been there.
