I don't think I could call it life-changing, but I loved Concretopia - architecture and social geography and stuff. Very accessible and absorbing.
I also loved H is for Hawk but that's the sort of non-fiction that almost falls into the same category as fiction (it's a memoir). Weepy. Similarly Corvus: a life with birds.
John Stuart Mill's On Liberty was formative for me, and his style is very readable for the subject matter (philosophy/politics). Also from my philosophy A-level or degree I remember being really interested in A J Ayer's Language, Truth and Logic but I don't remember as much of its content.
It's a long time since I read it, but I found the Catechism of the Catholic Church interesting and informative. Also Quaker Faith & Practice, which is a lovely (to me) mixture of procedure and spirituality. Both were life-changing for me in different ways.
