God, that's a nice way of putting it. A vast majority of books published nowadays could have been a series of at most 5-6 blog posts. It's gotten so bad that you have GREAT scientists that are actually partnering with journalists just to fluff up books and get them to the ridiculous number of pages they consider "proper". Let it be stated publicly and loudly, so maybe some would hear: I'd gladly pay the same price for a 50 page book, and I'd actually be a lot more likely to buy it. |

When you suspect a book to be one of those, do a web search for talks the author has given about it. The more hyped the book, the higher the chance you’ll find several talks around an hour long which are repeats of each other in different settings. Watch any for a cheaper and faster way to learn every meaningful insight from the book.
