It truly depends, but first person point of view is when a character is talking, you can tell the emotions he/she is feeling, in first person, you will see "I, me" in third person view, you have a narrator, its someone that knows how the people are feeling in this case you mostly will have the characters names.
Nonfiction books are usually written in third person point of view, as this is the traditional academic style of writing.

∙ 11y agoThat's right, a memoir is always in the first person.
Much freedom is given to writers to do practically what ever they want to do, so it is possible that a memoir could be written in something other than first person - but it would be kind of weird for a person to speak about himself in the third person, or second or third person plural.

∙ 10y agoA memoir is almost always told in the first person because it is an account of true events and emotions in a person's life, and therefore has a close, personal attachment to the narrator. A memoir is to a large extent a memory brought to life in writing by the person who lived it.
It is possible to write a memoir in the third person, but doing so will add greater distance to the story, making it appear less "real" and removing the "this happened to me" appeal of a memoir.
