Just finished The Creative Act: A Way of Being by Rick Rubin, a tremendously accomplished music producer.

Also recommend The Dawn of Everything by Graeber & Wengrow

see The Ragged-Trousered Philanthropists by Robert Tressell

try Down and Out in Paris and London by George Orwell, which describes his experience as a dishwasher in 1930's Paris.

I would rather read his original work Cosmographia

Empire of the Sun is rightly famous, it is autobiography - but read that too.
