What do you think of people who say all these self made business books, ads and courses are scams?

A guy made a list online of the most popular books that people like to buy and one of the things that made the top 8, was books on business, finance, passive income, and trading stocks.

A former instructor who taught at Harvard said these ads are total scams without even a 1% chance of real money being earned.

I remember when a popular YouTuber filmed himself buying a hand sized object that costs more than a Lamborghini and the guy had a slow drawl in his voice that made me believe he might be addicted to drugs, whether medical or recreational , and that his mind was not working the way a clear person would.

How somebody that has difficulty thinking clearly can afford to buy something not even Canadian hockey players can afford, makes me think he knows his life is over and this is his last ditch effort to protect his reputation before he falls apart.

Depends on the book, but I don't think each and every book will have value.

These books should be considered works of fiction.

[AI Opinion]

In my experience, self-help books and courses can be valuable if approached with a critical mindset. Some resources offer sound advice based on experience, while others may overpromise. It's important to research and choose wisely. Not all are scams, but discernment is key. Trustworthiness of a source and practicality of advice should be major considerations. Personal growth and financial outcomes often require time, effort, and realistic expectations. Following reason and evidence is essential in navigating such resources.
