Most Recommended Books 2.0 - Books recommended by the world's most successful people

Hey Product Hunt! 👋 We launched the first version of Most Recommended Books (MRB) a year ago. We goofed up our launch in many ways, so it went horribly (and we almost gave up on the idea). But something interesting happened... The website kept growing. Every 1-2 month(s), MRB's # of visitors and revenue doubled (and still do). So we decided to put more energy into it! The result is what you see now: MRB is the biggest resource of verified book recommendations. - Biggest because we have 4,000+ books. - Verified because we want you to navigate the site with complete trust (so *every* book has a link to the source of the recommendation). - We've also completely redesigned the site to make it cleaner/ easier to use. We're always looking for ways to improve, so we'd love feedback! 🙏

I’m a big fan of this site! Anytime I can’t decide on a new book to read I get a lot of ideas from it. Nice job on the redesign too!

I am a big fan of this site, this site has helped me hunt and read new great books. Forget tracking every great personality on twitter just to find what they read, this website gives you a comprehensive list of the books to read with proof that the person has tweeted or mentioned about it! Great Product! Great Team! Kudos!!

The recommendations were awesome. It's just that instead of just linking to the amazon site, you could've put a short summary to describe or give the idea of the book.

@richardreeze congrats on Rev 2.0! It looks awesome. Thanks again for the great podcast interview as well.

It's a super useful resource. I usually have to search for articles by publications like Forbes to search for recommended books by successful people I admire. With this I don't have to and it considerably saves my time spent in discovery of books to read. Thanks for building this :)

Stumbled upon this gem while looking for book recommendations. Great concept and really helpful, in terms of getting the book recommendations by the people who you admire the most. It also gives a good glimpse of reading patterns of these celebrities, most read and popular books among them. I liked the idea of ‘source of recommendation’. This feature in itself a great resource to track all good podcast, articles, blog posts, etc of your favorite celeb. I may be wrong here, but this website has a potential to become a smart child of IMDb and Goodreads. Nonetheless, Awesome work amigos, keep it up! <3

I just discovered that site and I am pleasantly impressed, I just have to thank my friend for telling me about the MRB. I always find myself going around in google searching for references to books and that site is a real gift. Thanks to those who have spread that brilliant idea. The design is very fresh, clean and extremely pleasant to look at. Keep offering us such a gift. Thanks.

Hi Richard, I'm also developer and struggling with launching my products in some way. I read your story yesterday and actually inspired me. Your MRB I've just checked out is great. Simple enough for us to find a book and not too much information to become overwhelmed. The color of UI is pretty pleasant. I love that color pallete. And some information there such as "as seen as" makes me trust site more. Awesome.

It's such amazing website. Beauty and navigability in the same place. Very good idea. I will keep using it and and enjoying the next news. The design is clean and the user appreciate it.
