These are five that immediately come to mind and would rank at least in my top twenty.

The Blank Slate-The Modern Denial of Human Nature by Steven Pinker

Man's Search For Meaning by Victor Frankl

The Demon Haunted World  by Carl Sagan

The As If Principle by Richard Wiseman

Born to Run by Chris McDougall

[Solitary]

Not necessarily nonfiction,  but John Steinbeck's The Grapes of Wrath. It was based on mostly events that really occurred.

A great book and movie, one of the best! Solitary

My favorite book of all time ;)

I'd read Asimov's shopping lists, if Janet would publish them.  Now, I haven't read the novelization he did with Silverberg.  And for the love of all that is just, proper and sane, do not go looking for any of the movie versions.  There were two and they both suck harder than the black hole at the center of this galaxy.  If I may quote my own IMDB review of one of them:

Had the tape I watched not been a rental, I would have taken it out into the street and run over it several times, ground what remained into a powder, and burned it before it could hurt anyone else.

I'm not even going to try to name a favorite Asimov novel, or even story.  My head would explode trying to decide.
