Why Read Non-Fiction?

Why read non-fiction?

Maybe it's because we indulge in too many K-drama or fantasy books - they provide simply a wonderful escape from reality.  However, when we come back to reality and actually have to solve a problem, non-fiction books are a valuable STARTING point.  They are affordable, comprehensive, and offer just enough information to make informed decisions for your next step.

If you like self-help books as much as I do, opt in for  a self-help book that also has a workbook. This hands-on approach will help you to retain some information.   I like self-help books written by professional authors. They offer thorough research without any egos or difficult jargon.  They just provide clear, step-by-step guidance that is easy to follow.  While some may find them a bit dry, if you're genuinely interested in the topic and trying to learn, they are an excellent choice. Of course, I also choose books authored by specialists, tons of them, especially for specific topics.  I am just saying not to be biased about the books written by professional writers for beginning-level books.  I appreciate the precise and polished writing style of professional authors - after all, it's what they do for a living.   Let me put it this way.  Have you ever attended a lecture by a brilliant professor? You have the utmost admiration for him or her,  but did you really get the lesson? Perhaps the busy professor didn't have much interest in your 101 class, or maybe they used vocabulary and concepts that were beyond your imagination.

Then, you find yourself in a lab, listening to your TA (teacher's assistant), and suddenly you get that  "I got it" moment. Consider professional writers as your TAs. They may be able to  help you grasp some confusing issues in Your Problem 101.

Disclaimer: Currently, all the books in my store are authored by professional writers.  Do you have a teenager?  Check out this for yourself or your teen.
