Hi, one of the makers here. Pleasantly surprised and honored to be featured on Product Hunt. I was instructed to share why we build this and give a preview of future plans. So here it goes: What is this about? See everyone has their own super heros or people that they aspire to be. When such a person recommends something to you, you are more likely to pay… See more

@alexjv89 Great stuff, Alex! I'm always on the hunt for the best books on business and life. Btw, I think you misspelled Mr. Spolsky's first name.

@alexjv89 @pmarca great idea, one I've been walking around with for a large amount of time. Nicholas Nassim Taleb says books are the most scaleable way of spreading information, and I've learned a great deal about building a company by distilling what A players have shared in books & blogs. Too early to tell whether it will truly work out well for our co… See more

@alexjv89 Awesome idea! it will be great there was a list of top books in the empty space on the right . From there one can click on the book to see who are the personalities that have recommended it. That's my feedback.

@juliangijsen @pmarca - Sorry, I missed this comment. I soooo totally agree with your comment. Its less than a year ago, that I realized that the A players read a ton of books. Then I think I further realized that "I have no time to read" makes absolute no sense. Reading a well written book is a much faster learning process. I am strong believer of "there is… See more

@alexjv89 my pleasure! This might not be necessary, but I also thought it will nicer if the profile pictures were larger because these personalities are most of the time more recognisable from their picture than their name ... and big pictures are nice anyway and draw more attention. But again, this is a matter of taste, so it is up to you.

@alexjv89 I agree 100% - as always it is about balance. Move fast & break stuff, but in the process learn how to prevent hitting the same wall over & over again. Will you share a list of books that all A players agree on is good? Because that book just moved to the top of my reading list if it's about something I know jack sh*t about at the moment … See more

@juliangijsen - "Will you share a list of books that all A players agree on is good" - At the moment that would be hard to do. Cant promise that now. But given enough data points from relevant A players, it does make sense.
