I know this is not a popular point of view, but I'm also read a big pile of these books. And from my perspective (I'm living far from the US) there is a very big gap between nice theory and the real world. I'm trying to be positive about things but the real help in my business I've got from different sources. Maybe this is my own way, but after a few years of studying books like this from "business" shelf, I barely moved to the place where I'm now.
For example, a few months with a therapist gave me more resources than hundreds of hours I've spent on videos and "startup books". Best books I've read in the last 3-5 years was Martian by Andy Weir, and Remembrance of Earth's Past trilogy by Liu Cixin. Very inspiring for me as engineer. Few videos about how to organize personal finances on Youtube gave me financial ground.

First is about the basic idea of long term financial management [1], and these two [2] close to me since we also have a big family. Probably this is a very basic level for many people, but since my parents never had positive money management habits (my parents family from ex-USSR) it was the real breakthrough for me. 1. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wJB90G-tsgo https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wJB90G-tsgo 2. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ulr1HAaF_JU https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ulr1HAaF_JU, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZKU5bEf192A https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZKU5bEf192A
