Books I hate or found disappointing
- All the 'How To Get Rich' type of books like The Millionaire Fastlane by M. J. DeMarco or *Rich Dad, Poor Dad by Robert Kiyosaki
- One, there's no
- Man's Search for meaning by Viktor Frankl
- I don't necessarily hate it, and I do think what the author had gone through is important in the history of humanity asepct, I personally didn't find it very impressive compared to the hype. Maybe I'm too emotionally dull and cynical.
- Most of self-help book like How to Win Friends and Influence People by Dale Carnegie
- Similar to the 'How To Get Rich' type of books, they lack substance and depth.
