In the last few weeks I've read a slew of books that fall into the wide-ranging self-improvement, productivity, and general business genre. This isn't really my style. I went through a phase for a couple years of really digging it — I've read all of Charles Duhigg, Tim Ferriss, Malcolm Gladwell (he doesn't quite fit in the genre perfectly, but close enough), etc. But after you've read a couple handfuls, they all start to sound the same, often even referencing many of the same studies and examples.
