Top Three New York Times Best Sellers – Nonfiction
Reading nonfiction books is a wonderful way to see the world through someone else’s eyes or to read about an admirable person or cause. The following books are The New York Times’ best sellers for nonfiction in 2019.
1. Becoming by Michelle Obama
Michelle Obama is seen by many as one of the most intelligent yet down-to-earth First Ladies this nation has ever had. In her autobiography, Mrs. Obama underscores that fact by talking about some very personal issues she’s faced in her life as a young girl in Chicago to becoming a wife, mother, and First Lady.
Becoming is an intimate story that chronicles both the successes and the disappointments in her life – both in her public life as well as her private life. It’s an inspiring story that will motivate readers to live their best life – one that’s full of meaning and great accomplishments.
2. Catch and Kill by Ronan Farrow
One of the most important books on The New York Times’ best sellers of 2019 nonfiction is Catch and Kill. Ronan Farrow, a Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist, is one of the first to expose the abuse of power and sexual assault/rape culture that has tainted Hollywood as of late.
In a time of #MeToo, Catch and Kill is a must-read as it exposes those who have tried to cover up their wrongdoing, no matter the cost. The book serves as a warning, both to innocents and to the abusers, that this type of culture is not something humanity is going to stand for any longer.
3. The Body Keeps the Score by Bessel van der Kolk
It’s not just memoirs or exposés that make the bestseller list – health books do too.
The Body Keeps the Score shows how traumatic, stressful experiences are imprinted on the body. Pioneering researcher Bessel van der Kolk shows how emotional, physical, and sexual violence take their toll on the body, mind, and emotions. The research also shows that the survivors of these experiences can pass their stress onto their family members, including partners and children.
Thankfully, there’s some light at the end of the tunnel as van der Kolk explains how survivors can work through the residual stress of the trauma and reclaim their life.
