Are there any popular contemporary books that are actually worth reading?

I liked Norm Macdonald's book a lot. Very worth reading or listening to.

Why would anyone want to read about a guy who makes a fool out of himself on stage? Also he wasn't even funny.

No, as this would be a contradiction.
Especially on the self help side, "popular contemporary" (ie praised by normals) is the lowest tier garbage pseudo intellectualism chopped down even more to accomodate for the narrow worldview of the average normal.
Its like the difference between listening to jordan petersons psued rambling abt existentialism or just reading dostojewski and alike directly. You cannot compare it since one is moldet for the normie mind which is in essence not capable of understanding life or anything on a "deep" level.
