Read 31 business books this year. Three changed a decision I actually made. The other 28 were comfort food. The honest ratio is the whole review.

The honest ratio is the most valuable data point in any reading recommendation. Three out of thirty-one — that number should be on the back cover.

The comfort-food ratio is even worse in my experience. Maybe one in fifty actually changes behavior. But the other forty-nine kept me reading, so the habit paid for itself.
