Four and Five Star Non-Fiction Reads

There was a time when I read almost exclusively non-fiction. Around five years ago the balance started to shift, and now it is fiction that dominates. So far this year I have read 84 fiction books, and only 14 non-fiction.
Looking back at all the exceptional, mind-expanding books I have read over the years, I am inspired to branch out to more areas once again.
The books I have rated four or five stars (since I started keeping track in 2013) include a wide variety of styles and interests: biography, essay, sports, history, sociology, health, self-help, religion, language and science and nature. I hope you find something that intrigues you!
