Yes and no... books are vehicles for ideas. Ideas by themselves don't have much value. They are tools, if you are not applying them to something they are in fact useless. Don't get me started on Tai Lopez he is a charlatan... his advice of reading a book a day is not going to do much for you. Ideas need to be learned, used evaluated and discussed to fully understand them.
Derek Sivers has a great quote:
If information was all it took, we'd be all billionaires with 6-pack abs.
Same with seminars. If you don't act on the ideas, which most people don't do by the way, you are not getting ANY return on investment other than a temporary good feeling.

Some ideas require DEEP thinking: you need to stick with it for while to internalise them and then ACT on them. Better to deeply understand only a few and apply them consistently than hundreds you know superficially.
That said, it is always useful to have more tools at your disposal. The more useful ideas you know, and are able to apply, the better.
But you need to revisit ideas from time to time to get to the hidden, more advanced layers.
Take a book like Dale Carnegie's "How to make friends and influence people".
From the first reading you may take away say 5 ideas.
If you apply just one or two ideas consistently in your day today life you might get amazing results.
But to extract the full value of that book, you have to come back to it and evaluate the ideas in it again WITH your newly gained experience, it is only then that the deeper meaning and consequences of the idea begin to reveal themselves. Or you might actually find out they are not as robust as they looked on paper, so you need to critically re-evaluate them.
A book like this you probably could/ should re read every YEAR and learn more and more sophisticated lessons from it each time.
Yes books can be great but it takes time and application of ideas to get value out of them.
Obviously there are also a lot of crap books so good curation is essential;
check out https://sivers.org/book for a great list.
Most of the books are worth a read but be selective!
His notes are awesome. Like the ideas?
Buy the book; read it absorb the ideas and apply them! Then later revisit when you have some experience...
