I have a former colleague who published his memoirs after his retirement, which I eagerly read, and I’m glad I did.

Actually made me think random business memoirs could be a rich vein of untapped entertainment/edification.

Memoirs and autobiographies are often good, even when they come from everyday people. In general they are short, quick reads that are highly personal and offers their best stories, jokes, and lessons.

It's hard to explain but this feels like an AI generated comment. Either way I agree with the sentiment, more people should give this kind of non-fiction a try.
