Interesting books on varied subjects.
Non-fiction
I'm only halfway or so into this book from legendary music producer, Rick Rubin, but feel I can already heartily recommend it.

I've really enjoyed this book from Russell Davies (and friends). It's a helpful reminder that creativity is a habit we need to nurture.
Book by Michael Pollan
I'm currently really enjoying this audiobook on the subject of psychedelic drugs and their power to change people's thinking for the better.
Non-fiction
I've just finished this book and for me the experience was quite profound. I felt seen, like Cain was putting into words things I've felt for many years but been unable to articulate.
Non-fiction
I just finished this brilliant, popular science book from Drs Hannah Fry and Adam Rutherford (of Radio 4 fame). I've been listening as an audiobook on my morning walks and it's perfect.

I read this Grayson Perry book a few years ago, but was recently reminded of it and am going in for a second turn.
Non-fiction
This is a great, thought-provoking read from Stanford neuroscientist, David Eagleman about the malleability and elasticity of the brain.

This book is a bit off my usual path, but it was recommended by a friend and is absolutely fantastic.
Non-Fiction
Like most folks, I’ve become really tuned into the urgency of action needed to deal with climate change. But also I feel totally numb to all the doom-mongering and negativity – it’s just too much to bear day-to-day.
Book
I’m a latecomer to the work of Jon Ronson having only been vaguely aware of him, but never having dipped my toes into any of his books. I’ve discovered I quite like his brand of journalism.
Book
Really enjoyed this first hand account from ex-Apple engineer, Ken Kocienda about his time at the company under Steve Jobs. Lots of details about the design and engineering of now ubiquitous products like the iPhone and iPad.
