Some non-fiction books I really liked recently that might interest Lesswrong:

  • Ubersleep: Nap-Based Sleep Schedules and the Polyphasic Lifestyle

  • Procrastination: Why You Do It, What To Do About It

  • The 10,000 Year Explosion: How Civilization Accelerated Human Evolution

I liked that third one ("The 10,000 Year Explosion"), which suggests that human evolution has been very much happening in the last 10K years; I wonder if that's a mainstream believe now, and/or if there other books about this.

I tried briefly to find some similar books but couldn't see any others.
