About the Society
Fewer books, read properly.
Most of the best advice ever written is sitting in books nobody gets round to reading. Marcus Aurelius wrote his to himself. Seneca wrote his to a friend. Musashi wrote his in a cave near the end of his life. They're short, they've lasted, and they still work.
Dead Mentors Society posts you those books one at a time, in an order that builds, at a pace you pick. Each one comes with Field Notes on who wrote it and why it lasted, a letter with a plan for reading it, and a bookmark with the line worth remembering.
That's the whole idea: fewer books, read properly. No apps, no streaks, no podcasts. Just the dead, teaching the living.
We're based in Hobart, Tasmania. Questions? Get in touch.
