Thank you for writing this article. I think there are some outstanding points for people who are purely focusing on information acquisition. In that aspect, you are absolutely right. For the ones who aren’t looking to tie every second of their life to growth hacking and simply want to understand others’ unique life experiences, even the not very good books can provide value. I’m looking forward to tracking down some podcasts to amplify my growth potential but can’t ignore the value personal anecdotes bring to our lives. Cheers.
