I agree.
And disagree.
I think there needs to be a balance, but I would never advocate people to stop reading self-improvement books.
How many people here have leveraged Wim Hof's cold water therapy and changed their lives?
The idea of getting in an ice cold pool of water never occurred to me, until I read Wim Hof. Had I not read his book, I would be missing this potentially altering life strategy.
How about "Why We Sleep?"
Without this book, I would not have paid more attention to my sleeping habits, and how they truly affected me the next day. Poor sleep? Poor productivity and poor attitude the next day.
I advocate reading as many self-help books as one can consume, in addition to your suggestion on reading about notable historical figures and biographies.
Want to get wealthy?
Read a bunch of books on getting wealthy, then MAKE A DECISION ON YOUR STRATEGY AND ACT... AND ACT... AND ACT...
So yes, at some point you have to STOP READING, and START DOING.
And then read the best book to solve your problems/challenges/obstacles to avoid potential circle-jerking.

GOLD! - The absolute BEST book you MUST read!
A reader emailed me last week and asked the following question: I've read all three of your books and I can't thank you enough, you've changed my life. [Redacted] What other books do you recommend to help me get started on my Fastlane? While I appreciate the compliment, there are two mental...

For me, this is a golden age. Anyone can write a book and publish it. The gatekeepers are all gone. I feel like a kid in a candy store. I can read all these people's books where they share their ideas without the old filter systems. I want to hear what these "average" people think and feel passionate about.
