Ultralearning

Despite the subject matter, I felt like I learned relatively little.

This book may be the one to push me over the edge - I'm increasingly getting the sense that there is a ‘type' of self-improvement/pop-psych book where the authors are more or less in a self-congratulatory cabal, despite none of their books actually having substance. It seems a bit like a group of Gladwell wannabes, following the format of turning a TED talk into a short book and then hyping each other's books up to boost each other's sales. It's starting to get frustrating.
