My mom would always be listening to non-fiction historical audiobooks when I was young and I would also hear them. I also feel like it increased my empathy and understanding of other people’s situations.

Book clubs are a great way to find new books! Of course, book clubs can get into ruts too. I used to be in one that read only fiction. But it’s great if you have one that reads a real variety of books/genres.
