One of the best things I did was read a memoir from a US president who I didn't vote for (and generally didn't approve of.)

Nothing "changed my mind," but it was very useful to understand the his point of view. Turns out this politician cared very deeply about issues that I really care about, and if the side that I normally support was willing to cooperate, we could have moved more quickly on these issues.
