It reads like it was mostly airport-nonfic hustle trash, to be blunt. Blog-post-expanded-to-a-book stuff. I’ve read a dozen or so of these over the years and they’ve consistently been a waste of time. Easily condensed to five or ten pages, probably mostly lists or bullet points rather than denser prose, without losing any substance whatsoever.
The improving value of reading 40 of those per year versus 0 is approximately identical, so unless you’re finding them entertaining, there’s not much reason to do it.
Yeah, that was my thought too - law of diminishing returns is at play.
Expanding one's area of literary interest is key here. Look at what Bill Gates does with his quarterly reading list - so many different genres, topics, etc. Keeps things fresh at the very least!
