All business books are shit.
I’m reading almost only business books now and man most of them really suck or are a bunch of vague platitudes.

If you get to stock market books wait it gets worse. As someone retired from a hedge fund, no one writing a book about it knows anything

“The Psychopath Test” by Ronson isn’t really about business, but it’s a good look at the mental patterns of some criminals and certain biz leaders. Audio version is entertaining.

Ever read Good to Great? I was just discussing the same phenomenon of trite advice business books seem to have nowadays with my wife. Good to Great has real analysis and interesting conclusions.

Check out Chris Voss's book "Never Split the difference" Been in business for over 40 years and it's one of the best I've read and I've seen a lot of BS themed hook bait books.

Agreed. I’ve tried but there’s no imagination put into them at all. It’s the exact same stuff I’ve already read elsewhere but more dry and less detailed, therefore less informative. Now that I think about it: “Think like a producer” sums up a large % of them. Gorilla Mindset.

Business books are full of charlatans, as their business is selling books. You'll have better luck reading Seneca, Taleb, and practicing awareness than attempting to draw something useful out of a business book.

I assume you've read "The Age of Spiritual Machines" and "The Singularity is Near" by Ray Kurzweil (about predicting viability of inventions and businesses based on the viability of the processing power needed to make the problems they seek to address into tractable problems).

Hence the interest of producing and using abstracts (that are concrete about the points). The culture of this is slow to emerge.

Most progress in business is making a choice where there isn’t a good one and owning it. Boring book.
