An attack on the methodology of business bestsellers: when a company performs well we attribute good culture, strategy and leadership to it, then write those attributions up as the causes of the performance.

Why it’s on the list: On Kyle’s own shelf, unread — the literal anti-library case: a book bought and shelved rather than a recommendation received.

Where I saw it: Transcribed from a photo of Kyle’s own bookshelves, saved into his “Books To Read” Apple Note. Kyle confirmed on 2026-09-18 that he has not read any of the shelf titles that were not already in the library.
