Yeah I'm not really saying it's useless just that it's the basic format of those books. I think the best way to read those is to skim the various testimonials to get an idea what they're talking about and get to the author's point then read them as they spark your interest or seem relevant.

I get why they're in there, it's one of the few ways to argue the actual effectiveness of whatever advice the author is giving. It just seems excessive sometimes how much of the books are just 'I swear this works look at these important people it worked for.'
