How to Get the Best Book Recommendations

Algorithms are pretty sophisticated today.

Introduction

I usually shop online for books.

The same recommendations…

Since I always got recommended the current bestsellers anyway and everyone was talking about them online, I wasn’t exposed to new ideas.

Getting better book recommendations

I love videos like this one:

Algorithms…learn!

It’s fascinating how sometimes algorithms know our preferences better than other people do.

I bought them on Amazon for several reasons:

  • Have a better overview of what books I already own:
    If there was a book I’d already have in my library, it would most probably be not recommended to me (again) and I could see that I already own it, so I won’t buy it again. Saves me some money, since I have bought books twice in the past.
  • Adapt the algorithm:

Get out of your bubble

An image of a person who we want to be.
