It used to be, publishing was to blame for most of it. The self-help/daily-schedule-to-greatness section of the bookstore is one of the most competitive in terms of submissions. What people really like to hear is how complex problems can be easily solved by a framework that has a simple name. MBA dipshits read these books instead of real ones and it all trickles down from there.
I was once forced to read a book entitled 'Who moved my cheese?', which I was informed was a profound piece of philosophical thinking. What it actually was was some dickhead writing this great long-winded parable about a bunch of fucking rodents, with the final message 'change happens, you need to accept it and move on'.
Apparently this book has sold 30 million copies. I do know they gave one to every single person in the company.
Anyway, my friend in sales opened his next meeting with the question 'OK, who cut the cheese?'

I was given the same book and was told the very same about it.
I remember thinking the intended readership must be 5th graders.
