I’m pleased to share what I consider the most promising, must-read nonfiction titles scheduled for release in September of 2022. These titles make up our second group of nominees for Season 19 of the Next Big Idea Club (the August group was announced here, and the third and final group, the October releases, will be featured in a future post).
All nominated books will be shared with our Next Big Idea Club curators—Susan Cain, Malcolm Gladwell, Adam Grant, and Daniel Pink—who will narrow the list down to a handful of finalists and, ultimately, two official season selections.
Authors will also be invited to create a “Book Bite”, a 15-minute audio self-recording that features 5 big ideas from their book. It’s kind of like chatting with a stranger at a party—only that person just happened to write a fascinating nonfiction book!
And now, the September 2022 titles are…

View on Amazon
By Max Fisher
Publication Date: September 6, 2022
We all have a vague sense that social media is bad for our minds, for our children, and for our democracies. But the truth is that its reach and impact run far deeper than we have understood. Building on years of international reporting, Max Fisher tells the gripping and galling inside story of how Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, and other social networks, in their pursuit of unfettered profits, preyed on psychological frailties to create the algorithms that drive everyday users to extreme opinions and, increasingly, extreme actions.

By Nicholas Kardaras
Publication Date: September 13, 2022
The algorithm-fueled polarity of social media also shapes the brain’s architecture into inherently pathological and reactive “black and white” thinking―toxic for politics and society, but also symptomatic of several mental disorders.

View on Amazon
By Dimitris Xygalatas
Publication Date: September 13, 2022
Ritual presents a profound paradox: people ascribe the utmost importance to their rituals, but few can explain why they are so important. Apparently pointless ceremonies pervade every documented society, from handshakes to hexes, hazings to parades. Before we learned to farm, we were gathering in giant stone temples to perform elaborate rites and ceremonies. Though rituals exist in every culture and can persist nearly unchanged for centuries, their logic has remained a mystery—until now. View on Amazon

By Geoffrey Cohen
Publication Date: September 13, 2022
Often inadvertently, we behave in ways that threaten others’ sense of belonging. Yet small acts that establish connection, brief activities such as reflecting on our core values, and a slew of practices that Cohen defines as “situation-crafting” have been shown to lessen political polarization, improve motivation and performance in school and work, combat racism in our communities, enhance health and well-being, and unleash the potential in ourselves and in our relationships. View on Amazon
By David Enrich
Publication Date: September 13, 2022
In this gripping and revealing new work of narrative nonfiction, Enrich makes the compelling central argument that law firms like Jones Day play a crucial yet largely hidden role in enabling and protecting powerful bad actors in our society, housing their darkest secrets, and earning billions in revenue for themselves.

By Elissa Bassist
Publication Date: September 13, 2022

By Andrea Wulf
Publication Date: September 13, 2022
Young Romantics incited a revolution of the mind that transformed our world forever. We are still empowered by their daring leap into the self, and by their radical notions of the creative potential of the individual, the highest aspirations of art and science, the unity of nature, and the true meaning of freedom. We still walk the same tightrope between meaningful self-fulfillment and destructive narcissism, between the rights of the individual and our responsibilities toward our community and future generations. At the heart of this book is the extremely modern tension between the dangers of selfishness and the thrilling possibilities of free will. View on Amazon

By Rina Raphael
Publication Date: September 20, 2022
The truth is that deep within the underbelly of self-care―hidden beneath layers of clever marketing―wellness beckons with a far stronger, more seductive message than health alone. It promises women the one thing they desperately desire: control. While wellness may have sprung from good intentions, we are now relentlessly flooded with exploitative offerings, questionable ideas, and a mounting pressure to stay devoted to the divine doctrine of wellness. What happens when the cure becomes as bad as the disease? View on Amazon

By Daniel Medwed
Publication Date: September 20, 2022
Medwed argues that our justice system’s stringent procedural rules are largely to blame for the ongoing punishment of the innocent. Those rules guarantee criminal defendants just one opportunity to appeal their convictions directly to a higher court. Afterward, the wrongfully convicted can pursue only a few narrow remedies. Even when there is strong evidence of a miscarriage of justice, rigid guidelines, bias, and deference toward lower courts all too often prevent exoneration. View on Amazon
By Amanda Craig

By Tommy Spaulding
Publication Date: September 20, 2022
Researchers estimate that the average person will influence up to eighty thousand people over the course of their lifetime—or 2.8 people daily. That’s a stadium full of people whom each of us affects in ways positive or negative, sometimes without us realizing. What if we paid attention to this fact? Would we live differently? Would we lead differently? Would we put down our phones and be more present with the people in front of us? View on Amazon

By Andrew Conte
Publication Date: September 20, 2022
The changes taking place in this one Pennsylvania community are being repeated across the United States as hundreds of local newspapers close, creating news deserts and leaving citizens with little access to reliable local journalism.

View on Amazon
By Adam Adatto Sandel
Publication Date: September 20, 2022
Sandel argues that finding fulfillment is not about attaining happiness, conceived as a state of mind, or even about accomplishing one’s greatest goals. Instead, true happiness comes from immersing oneself in activity that is intrinsically rewarding. The source of meaning, he suggests, derives from the integrity or “wholeness” of self that we forge throughout the journey of life. View on Amazon
