I've found that there is nothing in these books. I've read enough of them that I now have zero curiosity about what they have to say.

What works for me is to choose to suffer. You can replace all those books and all their pages with just those three words. There's no mindhack or some new scientific (or spiritual) method to no longer suffer when working. Just choose to suffer and get good at suffering.

Well, there can be some tips in the books, so I would not discount them. After all, we are reading those books to try to learn better. But yes, I agree, often we just have to suffer our way to greatness when learning :)
