Not all self help books are like that. Self development changed my life. And that's just one of the categories we have. You can check psychology, history, science, startup books too. And we are adding more.

Got any suggestions?

How do you redistribute money from your service to the authors?

We don’t make profits yet but we will do probably something like profit share.

would it not be more intellectually honest, and make for a more serious business to put payments to the authors in front of profits? because these payments they are a business expense.

Added to the list thanks. I looked over Atomic Habits once and I've been meaning to dig into that one.

These animations look AI generated. Are they? I have had a quick fly through one of the videos and could spot quite a few AI drawing glitches.

Yes everything is ai generated!

Sorry I couldn't sport any mention of AI on the website on a quick look.

The concept of "learning styles" has a pretty large mountain of evidence disproving its validity. Just a quick sample from wikipedia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Learning_styles#Criticism

While it may be a marketing gimmick, it immediately turned me off.
