  I really like how these are categorized, and succinct descriptions. Thanks for sharing!

  This is a highly questionable list, and not only because it recommends 'Freakonomics' (I suggest listening to the 'If Books could Kill' podcast about this book - their analysis is really on point).

  In regards to the rest of the list - just as a single example more or less at random, re: Jordan Belfort's book:

  "proven to turn anyone into a sales-closing, money-earning rock star..."

  There are at least three lies in this half-sentence alone.
