I see more than a couple of books I've read in the comments, but I found them negative ROI on time invested in them, they should have been 20 pages not 300, and I didn't learn anything profound, often they could be summarized as a list of statements. In the end, I feel 99% stuff out there is just time wasting simple ideas rehashed into 300 page stories.

Could you make a list of these books? I certainly have seen books mentioned I wouldn't even leaf trough, but this comment is particularly strong - and fascinating

  Secrets of the Millionaire Mind - A garbage book about universe's energy Never Split the Difference - too long never finished completely, didn't feel practical or anything beyond common sense The Obstacle Is the Way - trash, not worth time, if you watch motivation videos then go ahead buy it. Exactly What to Say - read the the table of contents and you get 90% of the value the book has to give Indistractable - did you know if you could focus and work without motivation you could do great things..oh wow news of the century. Book has flawed premise and flawed solution. Saying control your internal triggers is a very round about way to say control your motivation. This book more of an academic book, on topic, that is under research. How to Make Sh*t Happen: Make more money... - honestly liked the book, resonated with author's struggle .. but I don't recall getting much value. It was like watching a show that starts really strong and you have high hopes but just never delivers. I'd read the summary of it and not waste time reading the entire thing. i was kinda putt off by cringe over the top cursing to look unorthodox. The Hard Thing About Hard Things - omg the self patting.. unless you're a ceo, of series A startup then maybe this book will have some value. HARD PASS. Grit - here I'll save you time: people who keep at it on average win against talented people. There I saved you from 30 life stories of author and her daddy issues. The case studies and even better textbooks that have case studies compiled into lessons are much better.
