I find that most business books, in the end, are just commercialized spins on "common sense". I have that to be the case with a plethora business certification and 'black belt' programs. The unfortunate thing is, common sense is not very common, which is why this is probably a lucrative industry.

I've learned a lot more from professional social networking (both online and in-person) than from any of the books I've read or courses and certification classes I've taken.
