About this audiobook
Hundreds of business and self-help books make a few hundred claims, most of them repeated under different vocabulary, most of them flattened into the same confident rhetoric whether the evidence is solid or already failed to replicate. This is the extraction. Ninety-four distinct claims, stripped of framing and anecdote, each marked for what the research actually supports — solid, contested, weakened, oversold. The contradictions are surfaced rather than reconciled. What survives is a map; the territory is still the reader's to walk.
