We represent a society of men who are looking to improve themselves through the lens of books. Whilst life experience is a crucial factor in a man’s success, books are sources of plentiful amounts of information, ideas and perspectives. We can’t experience everything ourselves — but through reading, we can learn from those who have and accelerate our own paths to success.

Our Rating System
We evaluate books based on five key dimensions to help men discover works of lasting value.  These 5 key areas are:

Practical Wisdom:

Accessibility: 

Engagement:

Timelessness & Cultural Relevance:

Originality of ideas:

Accessibility assesses how easy it is to absorb the book’s insights. Engagement reflects how compelling and enjoyable the reading experience is. Timelessness & Cultural Relevance considers whether the book’s lessons remain meaningful in today’s world and beyond. Practical Wisdom rewards books that offer actionable insights readers can apply in life, work, and relationships. Finally, Originality of Ideas highlights fresh thinking and unique perspectives. 

Together, these criteria ensure we recommend books that truly inform, inspire, and endure.
