01Every list felt like an ad
Look up "books successful people read" and you get a lot of lists. Most of them are PR. The rest feel too gimmicky to be true.
None of them felt like they were really about the person.
02Start with the person
What if a library didn't start with a pile of books, but with a person you wanted to become like?
The books around someone say a lot about how they think. Probably more than any top-10 list.
03What's on each shelf
So every person gets their own shelf: biographies about them, the books they wrote, and the books that carry the traits they live by.
Pick someone you'd like to become. Read your way into how they think.
Then I built it. millionaireslibrary.com
noticed it, poked at it, built my own version. (this becomes a pattern.)04About the bugs
It's live. It also has bugs. Quite a few.
I never went back to fix them. I just grew, ran into new problems, and those were more fun to build for.
they're still there. xD
