Dropped $60 on that bestselling self-help book about morning routines and gave up after day 3 when I realized it was just common sense padded to 300 pages

The whole thing could have been a blog post, has anyone else gotten burned by a hyped-up book that was basically just fluff and empty advice?

Buddy of mine fell for that "4 hour workweek" hype a few years back. Bought the book, read like half of it, then spent a whole weekend setting up outsourced virtual assistants for his small lawn care business. Ended up paying some guy in the Philippines $15 an hour to schedule appointments that he could have done himself in 5 minutes. His girlfriend found a 2009 blog post that had basically the same advice for free. He still blames that book for wasting his summer.
