Why startup founders should stop reading business books

I read this a little while ago (maybe on HN?) and I think that it is pretty spot-on, and applies not just to founders but to others as well! This said, the one thing I do really like out of some of these books are stories ABOUT founders, the kind of stories that capture the grit and work involved above and beyond and inspiration. Those kinds of examples as inspiring and encouraging - especially when detailing people who come back from failure to succeed!

Title should be "Founders shouldn't read business books unless the books are highly likely to contain actionable insights regarding their business"<p>That's not very catchy, but very true.
