Educational books for learning and skill development.
What creators think
Hormozi, Holiday, and Friedberg all recommend books, though their reasons differ. Hormozi frames them as a high-ROI investment in skill-building, while Holiday makes a more philosophical case — that reading is how you access the thinking of people who are no longer alive. Note that Friedberg's attached quote describes running shoes, not books, so his actual reasoning for the recommendation isn't captured here.
