seems to have a very hard job. How do you convince people to buy more non-fiction books. It's a morally good career, helping others grow their knowledge. But seems very, very, very difficult to be successful in.

Request to non-fiction writers. Unless you have data, don't state ethics or interests of people have changed. Reading Think, by @svendbrinkmann.dk and he asks "Why has it become difficult to think" Given famine is now rare; I state it's become easier to think.
