About

Choosing books for people finding their way

I'm KD Chang, the founder of LifePicks Bookstore, an independent online bookstore. Through the website, the app and the Chrome extension, it helps you choose a book, read it, and put what it teaches to work in your career and life.

What this place is

LifePicks is for anyone feeling lost, uncertain or stuck. Its books are grouped into six topics — self-discovery, career, relationships, learning, wellness and wealth — and each one is hand-picked and distilled into structured highlights.

Why I started it

I've been through setbacks and low points of my own, and what got me through was often a book, or a single line in one. A book can't solve everything, but it can change how we see things and give us the courage to keep going. LifePicks is my way of sharing books and ideas with people working hard in their careers and lives, so they have a little more direction when they feel lost.

How it works

  1. 1Pick a topic and spin for a book, or browse reading lists in the app's Explore tab.
  2. 2Read the highlights: the core ideas, action steps and questions to think about.
  3. 3In the app, save the book to your shelf, schedule its action steps as practice, and note how each session went.
