I read that and the tipping point, I can confirm you can be rich by writing a book on how to get rich.
One of the more reliable jobs in the old west was selling pickaxes to hopeful prospectors. They may not find gold, but they’ll certainly be buying your axe to try. Years after the area runs out of gold, people are still going to be buying your wares.

It's amazing how the most successful trillionare in history, Mr Stephen R. Covey, took time away from his busy days of superyachting and banging the line supermodels waiting for his attention to write a book sharing the strategy of his vast success with all of us. God bless 🙏
Gob bless!

I actually had a similar experience that I can speak to: I reached a point of saturation, I guess you could call it. I needed time to process and integrate everything I'd already read, smooshing more ideas into my brain wouldn't have done any good.

That book really helped me understand the hidden cost of how treating people can impact your career.
Why I think it's useful, in IT a lot of people are socially inept.
More effective you are, more work you will have to do for the same pay. Be less effective and be happy.
Effective at making the higher-ups even more money maybe. What a pyramid scheme.
