Most of the comments offer broad strokes of advice. I'll offer some here with examples but a huge caveat is that I don't usually read full books so take my advice with a pinch of salt. :/
Type I books:
Recipes refer to books that teach you "how". They are often must-reads in the topic. Example: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/34689843-disciplined-entrepreneurship-workbook https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/34689843-disciplined-ent... and https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/18652777-disciplined-entrepreneurship https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/18652777-disciplined-ent...
Type II books:
These are controversial, non-mainstream books that challenge your thinking. Example: failory.com articles
Type III books:
Wisdom refer to books that teach you "why". They are generalisations that offer a thousand feet view but often suffer from survivorship bias if one doesn't read it critically. Example: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/18050143-zero-to-one https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/18050143-zero-to-one
