Nonfiction Books Everyone Should Read

Whether you're looking for a little inspiration or just a good laugh, you've come to the right place. We've rounded up some of the best nonfiction books to read in a lifetime, from tear-jerkers like When Breath Becomes Air to heartwarming advice from Cheryl Strayed to laugh-out-loud celebrity memoirs.
EDIT: The Marie Kondo one is supposed to be the original book, not the manga, but check it off if you've read either.
