Mind you, your bar might be too high for these, but I found useful bits from both of the Michael Easter books: "The Comfort Crisis" and "Scarcity Brain." https://eastermichael.com/ https://eastermichael.com/ Along the same lines, the two Annie Duke books that I read, "Thinking in Bets" and "Quit", were both entertaining and insightful. https://www.annieduke.com/ https://www.annieduke.com/ And tho' I thought it could have half the pages, I found inspriation from Rick Rubin's "The Creative Act". https://www.theguardian.com/books/2023/jan/10/the-creative-act-a-way-of-being-by-rick-rubin-review-thoughts-of-the-bearded-beat-master https://www.theguardian.com/books/2023/jan/10/the-creative-a... If you have a creative side and haven't yet read "The War of Art" then read that instead of the Rubin book. It's shorter and that focus makes it more inspiring.
