I usually get new book ideas from other books, maybe it's a reference to an author or a quote. This has been great for staying in the topic. Another similar source are articles I read online, specially the ones that look well researched.

A site that has been a great source for ideas is https://www.themarginalian.org/ by Maria Popova. It's so well written and she usually brings together different books that are somehow connected by the topic of the article.

The last post is a list of the best books for 2023, a lot of non-fiction https://www.themarginalian.org/2023/12/19/favorite-books-of-...
