by Michelle McNamara
Michelle McNamara spent years hunting the Golden State Killer from her laptop, and I'll Be Gone in the Dark is what that obsession built: a definitive account of California's most prolific unidentified predator, finished after her death, published two months before his arrest.
Included with Kindle Unlimited
by Timothy Ferriss
Tools of Titans compiles Tim Ferriss's best interview material from nearly two hundred elite performers into one reference book of routines, habits, and tactics, for readers who'd rather sample dozens of methods than read one guru's system cover to cover.
Included with Kindle Unlimited
by Reggie Fils-Aime
Reggie Fils-Aimé, the Nintendo of America boss who became a fan favorite, turns his career into a leadership memoir in Disrupting the Game. It traces a path from the Bronx to the E3 2004 stage where he introduced himself to gamers, packaging hard-won management lessons inside a genuinely improbable rise. Best for readers who like business advice grounded in a real life story.

by Michael Greger
Dr. Michael Greger surveys the research on the leading causes of death and argues that diet can prevent or reverse much of it. How Not to Die is a dense, evidence-stacked case for plants, with a practical eating guide bolted on the end.

by John J. Ratey MD
John Ratey makes the case that exercise is the single best thing you can do for your brain, not just your body. Spark is the book that reframes a workout as cognitive medicine, and it's genuinely motivating.

by Benjamin Graham
Benjamin Graham's The Intelligent Investor is the book Warren Buffett calls the best ever written on investing, and it earns the title. It's less a stock-tip manual than a temperament manual, teaching you to think like an owner and to keep your head while the market loses its own.

by Daniel Kahneman
Daniel Kahneman won a Nobel Prize for proving how irrational we really are, and Thinking, Fast and Slow is his masterful summing-up. It maps the two systems running your mind, one fast and instinctive, one slow and deliberate, and shows how the fast one quietly fools you all day long.

by Mark Manson
Mark Manson's Everything Is F*cked argues that hope, not happiness, is the thing modern life has quietly broken, and he builds a case for that claim out of psychology, philosophy, and a running argument with his own earlier bestseller.

by David D. Burns M.D.
David Burns's Feeling Good is the classic that brought cognitive behavioral therapy to the kitchen table. Decades on, its core move — catch the distorted thought, write it down, talk back to it — still holds up as a practical, do-it-yourself toolkit for low mood.
Included with Kindle Unlimited
by Julie Lythcott-Haims
Julie Lythcott-Haims's How to Raise an Adult is a bracing argument against overparenting from a former Stanford dean who watched its costs up close. It makes the case that the goal of parenting is a capable adult, not a perfectly managed child.
Included with Kindle Unlimited
by Yuval Noah Harari
Yuval Noah Harari's Sapiens is big history with a thesis: that Homo sapiens came to rule the planet not through strength but through our talent for believing in shared stories. It's a sweeping, argument-driven survey that runs from the first toolmakers to the brink of bioengineering, and it wants you to argue with it.
Included with Kindle Unlimited
by Ann Rule
Ann Rule was writing a book about an unknown serial killer when she realized she already knew him: her friend Ted Bundy. A true-crime classic with a premise no novelist could invent.
Included with Kindle Unlimited
by Mark Manson
Mark Manson's self-help bestseller argues that a good life comes from choosing better problems, not eliminating problems altogether, and it delivers that argument with more swearing and fewer platitudes than most books on the shelf.
