I am not sure if I am able to describe what i want clearly. For context, I like to read during my work day when I am a little zoned out, but the problem with this is that most books( I usually read fiction) have plots that require you to focus and read atleast sizeable chunks together to be able to maintain the story in your head. So, I was looking for books that have more or less independent chapters which can be read in under half an hour say. Also bonus points if the book is about science/econ/philosophy/pysch/politics or anything that can improve my critical thinking. I despise linkedin style books and self help books so those are out of the question. I think the closest anology to the kind of books I want are maybe books that are like podcasts but without the conversation aspects.
