As an aside, on this topic - are there any amazing books that grow your mind / life (power of habit, learning new things, whatever you think fits my sentence) in audiobook form ? I've been wanting to use my commute time for personal growth, but a lot of books don't lend themselves to audiobook forms. Thoughts?

#13OP, if you are the developer of the page, can you make it that users can select the number of books to be displayed on each topic? That would be pretty useful.
Hey yep I'm the developer. What's your use case for this feature? Is it just overwhelming with too many books?
For instance, people interested ONLY in startups, don't care about the other categories, but STARTUPS, so getting the top, let's say 50 books on startups would be their use case.

Right behind you. If I'm going to burn 45 minutes a day, at least I could be listening to something that will up my knowledge.
For 45 minutes a day, I'd recommend the BBC In Our Time podcast, hosted by Melvyn Bragg. Each week, academics talk about a particular topic from the world of science, history, philosophy etc. It's unashamedly high-brow. There's a huge back catalogue as well.
