Are Business Books Really Helping You Succeed – Or Just Selling You Hype?

In this episode of the Digible Dudes podcast, David and Reid break down the hidden flaws in popular business books and expose the arrogance vs. humility debate in thought leadership. From 10X Thinking to Radical Candor, we uncover why some of the biggest business gurus might be leading you astray - and what you should do instead.

Here’s what we covered:

• Why most business books fail you

• The truth about “10X Thinking” and its hidden traps

• How name-dropping and self-aggrandizement weaken business advice

• What successful business leaders really do (that books don’t tell you!)
