This is cool. I wonder, are there any books that come up time and time again? It'd be great to have an at a glance stat here, "this book has been recommended 5 times". Then being able to sort the books by number of times its been recommended.
Great work though 🙌
@fredrivett Thanks Fred! Yeah it'd be super cool to have some more filtering & sorting functionality built in -- I'd love to see that too. Pretty sure "How to win friends and influence people" would be a winner there ;)
@_mark0@mr_ed Good shout. I've read HTWFAIP but not Seneca, looks like I'll be adding that to my list then! Cheers guys 🙌

@mr_ed@fredrivett I started figuring this out (with a friend) over the past 2 weeks. Since you are further along, would love to share what I built.
Here is the data in an excel sheet (podcast and book recommendations) for anyone who is interested: http://bit.ly/2bJtaQz
Here is the python script I was experimenting with to extract data in to a CSV: http://bit.ly/2bCI2Oz
Seems like the most recommended books (after cleaning the data for duplicates, etc.) are as follows:
Book (Count)
Black-Swan-Improbable-Robustness-Fragility (8)
Antifragile-Things-That-Disorder-Incerto (7)
Stumbling-Happiness-Daniel-Gilbert (7)
Atlas-Shrugged-Ayn-Rand (6)
Fooled-Randomness-Hidden-Markets-Incerto (6)
Lying-Sam-Harris (5)
Surely-Feynman-Adventures-Curious-Character (5)
The-Psychedelic-Explorers-Guide-Therapeutic (5)
Hope this helps you build on your idea. Would love to see filtering options based on genre, ratings, etc. and who has recommended the book (based on podcast guest).
@_mark0, @mr_ed -- Nice simple idea although if I were @tferris, I would feel uneasy of someone else using the "Four Hour ____" name. Before clicking through, I thought Tim launched his own bookclub.
This could help us in picking new books to add to our free book summary app, StoryShots. But did you stop updating it?

YES. Love it. Was just listening on my way to work this morning, thinking that I'd love to see a site featuring all of his show notes, links, product recommendations, books, everything—with the ability to filter (health, business, etc.) and search. Maybe a future iteration :) Thanks for putting this together!

Happy to see that I already have some books on this list! It would be interesting to know in which context Time suggested the books. Cool hunt!

Very cool and useful. Would be nice to have a description for the book along with its cover. Right now I have to go to Amazon for each book I want to know more about. Still a great resource though ✌️

Thanks for this list. Tim is one of the people that Inspired me to write my own book on time management. For anyone interested in the truth about time management, find more info on the amazon kindle store: https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B01M...
