Almost all non-fiction books are garbage. But like the best ideas get surfaced in blog posts and videos, the best books get cited over and over again. Read those. I try to filter out anything published in the past 5-10 years. There are definitely fad books. Some books people talk around but don’t cite because they are so famous, like taking about Marxism instead of Das Capital or Darwinism instead of the Origin of Species. It is often worth reading the books that shook the world in your lifetime.
