10 Non-Fiction Book Ideas You Would Like To Write.
I'm pulling a prompt from the automated list and this one looked like fun. Let's talk about non-fiction books I'd like to write.

1. The Home Doughnut Chef's Bible
0
You DO NOT bake doughnuts. That's not a doughnut. That's either cake or bread, depending on the type of raw materials you're starting with.
I can teach you how to make professional quality doughnuts using easily obtained ingredients and simple household kitchen utensils.
(Spoiler: you cannot make authentic cake doughnuts like chocolate cake or blueberry cake at home without special equipment.)

2. Mocktails That Tickle Your Brain (and that don't suck)
0
But, what about that good feeling you get when you drink? Is it all due to the alcohol or does your brain have the ability to compensate in a sober state using its own chemistry?
I did some experiments using mocktails and alcohol substitutes and the results are surprising! (Totally unscientific, but we can dig into any and all research behind the phenomenon and see if certain types of fake booze or even social scenarios have an impact).

3. Game Prototyping: A Beginner's Guide
0
You need to convey intent, show how the system works to a potential customer, and then be able to gather observational feedback based on how it performs in your simple test.
Game design is no different. You have to be able to come up with concepts quickly, and cheaply, that you can vet for clarity and fun factor and move on from the ones that don't work.
You can do this with about a handful of household items and game pieces.

4. Deliberate: The Pursuit of Precision in Everyday Actions
0
It's about avoiding the unnecessary mistakes that arise when we act sloppy, lack attention, and do things half-heartedly.
Deliberate attention requires practice. There are a lot of different disciplines out there like Japanese tea ceremonies, marital arts performances, and theater acts that require perfect attention from their participants.
How can we harness some of these techniques to make our lives more precise and intentional?
If nothing else, maybe we spill our coffee fewer times throughout our lives!

6. Cable Management for the Win
0
You need this book. I know you do. Your electronics are a mess. Wires everywhere. Crossed, confused, kinked, and crimped.
Outlets overloaded, overheated while delicate units sit unprotected from power surges.
Tackle this mess with a few easy steps and tools and never dread having to move your TV or computer again.

7. Reflections on Adolescent Confidence
0
I would write a series of letters to my younger self about my lapses in confidence, my struggles with emotional clarity, and my ability to read people and situations better.
Heartbreaks and breaking hearts, bullying and being bullied, fighting "the system" and finding allies in the war against conformity, taking setbacks with grace, finding the discipline to prevail regardless of the circumstances.

8. Basics and Benefits of Starting a Business
0
Not even close. "Business" can mean you and you alone. It might mean you and your spouse or it could be you and 100 people if you want it to be.
It's the codification of your organization as a legitimate enterprise providing a good or service. That's it. That's a business.
But, people get scared about all the "steps" and "red tape" and then don't do it.
I can demystify that process for you (I am not a lawyer or accountant, but I have experience starting and maintaining businesses and doing all the "stuff" you have to do - it's less than you think, and hiring good people to help you is a must).

9. Masters of Worldbuilding: Architects of Our Fantasies
0
Let's look at the techniques, philosophies, and struggles of the masters of worldbuilding so we can use their ideas and experience to power our own worldbuilding efforts.
Preview
10. Dirty Curves: A Whiffleball Pitcher's Handbook
0
You can put deadly amounts of break on a whiffleball - causing it to do things a regular baseball could never do. The world needs a book that teaches them how to throw these hilariously acrobatic pitches.
Your summer family cook outs will never be the same with you on the mound.
