>I feel that reading books about the way other people view life or processes/routines are detrimental to understanding yourself. Creativity comes from self.
I understand what you are saying. We need to use discernment when we read what others have written. We need to ask, what is their motive? To entertain? To convince? To mislead? To share knowledge? etc.
Some things that are written down are definitely not worth spending the time reading.
