Book of the Week

“Shoe Dog” by Phil Knight is a candid memoir that chronicles the founding and rise of Nike from a scrappy startup to one of the world’s most iconic brands. Knight recounts his journey from selling running shoes out of his car in the 1960s to building a global company defined by relentless ambition, risk-taking, and an unshakable belief in his vision. Along the way, he reveals the financial struggles, personal sacrifices, and unconventional decisions that shaped Nike’s early years, as well as the team of misfits who helped turn his “crazy idea” into a movement. “Shoe Dog” is a story about perseverance, passion, and the pursuit of purpose, showing that success often comes from embracing uncertainty and refusing to quit.

Books For Guys | Book Recommendations For Men

Most guys don’t need to be convinced that reading is good for you, they just need to know why it matters right now.

Here’s how reading sharpens you in every part of life:

Culture: Books expose you to different perspectives, voices, and ways of life, building awareness, empathy, and the ability to navigate a diverse world.

Finance & Wealth Building: The right books teach you how money works, how to build it, and how to keep it. Most schools won’t show you that. A good book will.

Personal Development: Reading helps you understand your own habits, beliefs, and mindset. It’s like having a conversation with someone who's already been where you're trying to go.

Leadership: Great leaders are great readers. Books teach you how to think strategically, communicate clearly, and lead with purpose, not just authority.

Enjoyment: Reading isn’t just a chore, it can be fun. A well-written story or smart idea can hit harder than your favorite movie or podcast.

Learning & History: Books give you access to thousands of years of human knowledge. Why start from scratch when you can learn from the people who built the path before you?

If you’re serious about becoming a better man, start reading like one.

That’s the whole mission behind Books4Guys.com, and it’s just getting started.
