jasmeet0817··on Find Your Next Book by Mood
Feeling like a tough-love self-help kick? Try Can't Hurt Me. Want something research-backed instead? Try Thinking, Fast and Slow.

That's what Book Finder by Dialogue does - you specify a mood, we tell you the book that matches it.

Every book is scored across 11 reading dimensions (tone, depth, pace, evidence style). You can also just describe your situation in plain language and it'll set the sliders for you.

Free, no sign-up, book data from Open Library.

jasmeet0817··on Books Turned into Podcast Series
Hey, I've created Dialogue (try free demo) an app that turns books into conversational podcasts, in-depth discussions 10 - 15min each episode.

I love reading, but realistically I finish maybe two self-help books a year. Listening to structured recaps lets me revisit books I already like and gain in-depth insights from new ones.

Anyways, recently I added something new: books can now give personalized advice based on your situation. Instead of generic content, you can now hear how a book’s ideas apply directly to your life and your problems and what you should do to fix them (according to the book and not general internet advice). Honestly, it really enhances the chances of actually applying the advice from the books.
