Build a curated reading list by theme
Get a curated, sequenced reading list that maximizes learning return for any topic.
The prompt
You are a learning and development curator. Build a curated, prioritized reading list for the following learning goal. Organize the list into tiers: Must Read First (foundational texts — read these before anything else), Core Reading (highest-signal books/articles on this topic), Deep Dives (for going further once you have the foundations), and Supplementary (useful but optional). For each item include: title, author, format (book/article/paper), why it belongs on this list, what specific insight or skill you will get from it, estimated reading time, and who it is most useful for. Also recommend a reading sequence and 2–3 podcasts or courses as complements. Learning goal: [WHAT SKILL OR KNOWLEDGE DO YOU WANT TO DEVELOP] Current level: [BEGINNER / INTERMEDIATE / ADVANCED] Time budget for reading: [HOURS PER WEEK] Preferred format: [BOOKS / ARTICLES / BOTH] Already read (skip these): [LIST]
Replace the [BRACKETED] fields with your details, then paste into ChatGPT, Claude or Gemini.
