5/ I have learned at least that a good starting point to increase your chances of not wasting your time/money on book purchases is to get books from actual experts in the field. Seems like a no-brainer but man... all those non-expert books that tell stories are so popular.
6/ I wonder if anybody has other methods of wading through this mess and not winding up quiting/getting rid of as many books as I have....
The problem is that an expert at something is most likely not a expert at writing, so you're still better off buying books by people who are good at writing even if they're not scientists; in addition, many scientists spin facts around narratives too.
I recommend reading reviews *by experts* of books written by people who are good at writing. They tend to be overly critical but at least you get a clear idea of what you're getting into!
Getting recommendations from others you can actually trust- probably way more reliable. Thanks!
It looks like you have just discovered rule #1 (out of 3):https://hermanschaaf.com/how-i-choose-nonfiction-books/ …
I only take cycling bios from the public library these days. So much fiction... 
I had a similar experience with Peak by Anders Ericsson and Ultralearning, that I dropped before finishing.
Just use the library, skim through it or read it and then if you really like it... buy it
I'm such a slow reader unfortunately 
But yeah I really stepped into this one huh... This should be the top answer.
Very few things are worth 300+ pages. But that amount of paper can be sold more easily.
We read because we hope a book will improve our lives, but rarely does a book change anything at all. It is just an accessible thing that seems able to improve our life, and there's no way to do it wrong - as long as you can read in a straight line.
