It’s only been a few days since I shared my blog’s new pages (see here, here, and here), but I’ve been gathering feedback. Today, chatting with an entrepreneur, I showed him the searchable list of all the books I’ve read—or My Learning Library, as I call it now. I showed him how he can see each book's profile page and the connections between books on a profile page.

His initial feedback was that My Learning Library is a well-curated list of books. Having all the books on one page eliminates his usual need to search for and research books, which adds friction to his process of finding books to read. Instead, his mind went straight to wanting to purchase a few of the interesting books using the links on my blog.

Selling books isn’t my goal. I want to make it easy for entrepreneurs to find books that can help them solve problems faster or that they’ll enjoy reading for pleasure. It’s early days, but providing a curated list of what I’ve read seems to be accomplishing this.

I like the connections between books and blog posts on the profile pages. Building this out was a decent lift. I think it’s great for discovery. It’s an easy way to follow breadcrumbs between books. I want to get more feedback from people to find out if they see this feature as valuable.
