I assume you’re reading this article because you want to become a better man.
It doesn’t matter if you’re focused on improving your body, your relationships, your money, or your self-esteem. The simple act of deciding to deliberately improve yourself sets you on an irreversible trajectory to a better life.
Now, the main factor that determines how successful you will be is how much action you’re willing to take. There’s simply no replacement for putting one foot in front of the other and getting your hands dirty… But blind action only takes you so far.
This is why it’s absolutely crucial to find guidance for your journey. This guidance can come from mentors, podcasts, books, or blogs – ideally a combination of all of the above.
Personally, I love blogs – and I owe much of my growth and success to their influence… Which is why I decided to create a list of 10 self-development blogs I believe every man should read.
I can vouch for all of these guys. I’ve connected with each of them, and even met a few in person. They not only talk the talk, but actually walk the walk and live what they preach.
Without any further ado, and in no particular order, here is the list…
#1: Ryan Michler (Order of Man)
Expertise: General
Content: Blog, Podcast, YouTube
Website: OrderofMan.com
Ryan Michler offers a mature, well-rounded approach to self-improvement. He created Order of Man to give men a resource and a community for bettering themselves, citing the lack of a permanent male role model in his life as his main motivation. His approach is a general one, helping men improve in “all facets of life, from self-mastery to family, from money to contribution, and everywhere in between.”
#2: Keith Lai (FitMole)
Expertise: Fitness
Content: Blog
Website: FitMole.org
Keith Lai sets himself apart from the BS-ridden world of Men’s Health by offering an effective, minimalist approach to improving your body. He calls his approach The Non-Fitness Lifestyle and succinctly describes it as: “Freedom to finally build the body of your dreams without the hardcore, anal obsessiveness that runs throughout the current fitness industry.”
#3: Tripp Kramer (Tripp Advice)
Expertise: Dating
Content: Blog, Podcast, YouTube
Website: TrippAdvice.com
Tripp Kramer offers a very down-to-earth approach to dating and building confidence. He cites the extreme anxiety and chronic ‘friend-zoning’ he experienced in the past as his main motivation for getting better with women. Now his mission is “to help as many men as he can to become powerful, confident, and date any kind of woman they want all while being true to themselves.”
#4: Sam Thomas Davies
Expertise: Habit-Building
Content: Blog
Website: SamuelThomasDavies.com
Sam Thomas Davies is an authority on building healthy habits that allow us to be the confident, productive, and happy men we want to be… without even having to think about it. His work is so compelling because he fluidly combines the latest scientific research and studies with anecdotal stories you can easily relate to. His goal? To help you “seize the potential of your life.”
#5: Christian McQueen
Expertise: Dating
Content: Blog, Podcast
Website: RealChristianMcQueen.com
Not for the feint of heart or easily offended, Christian McQueen calls it how he sees it. He offers a no BS approach to learning how to attract women and improve as a man. I had a wild night out with him in LA, and I can tell you he definitely knows his stuff. His tagline accurately describes what he preaches and how he lives: “Fuck being average in life.”
#6: Sean Russell (MenProvement)
Expertise: General
Content: Blog, Podcast
Website: MenProvement.com
Sean Russell went from being a highly recruited athlete with the option to play soccer professionally in Europe to losing it all and becoming deeply clinically depressed. But he slowly rose from those ashes, built himself into a new man, and created MenProvement. He describes his content as “unadulterated, uncensored personal development… The place you come to be a better man.”
#7: Mario Tomic (Shocking Fit)
Expertise: Fitness
Content: Blog, YouTube
Website: ShockingFit.com
Mario Tomic is a motivational guy. Just read one of his posts or watch one of his YouTube videos and you’ll see what I mean. He combines proven science and personal experience to deliver a refreshingly honest approach to fitness. His mission? “To teach you only what really works to achieve the body and health you deserve in the shortest amount of time possible.”
#8: Sonny Arvado (Strength By Sonny)
Expertise: Personal Branding
Content: Blog, YouTube
Website: StrengthBySonny.com
Sonny Arvado is not afraid to call it exactly how he sees it, even if it means pissing a few people off. His approach to self-improvement is based in the understanding that we are all ultimately involved in the business of people – and that we can all improve by focusing on building our own personal brand. Or as he puts it: “You can get anything you want in life with the right game plan”
#9: Ben & Charlie (Charisma on Command)
Expertise: Charisma
Content: Blog, YouTube
Website: CharismaOnCommand.com
The only duo on the list, Ben Altman and Charlie Houpert are the creators of Charisma on Command. These guys dive deep into what it means to be confident and charismatic and – more importantly – how to “turn it out whenever you need it.” I love their stuff because it’s solid blend of being extremely actionable yet still very personal and unpretentious.
#10: David de las Morenas (How To Beast)
Expertise: Fitness and Confidence
Content: Blog, Podcast, YouTube
Website: HowToBeast.com
Yes, that’s me! Here’s a recap of my story: I was scrawny and insecure, so I hit the gym, put on 40 pounds of muscle, and developed the discipline to improve other areas of my life in the process. Ultimately I decided to quit my office job and focus on helping other guys build muscle and get confident. You’ll find that my approach to fitness and self-improvement is very simple, yet extremely effective.
Note: I only included guys I know and can personally vouch for. If you feel that I left someone important out, let me know in the comments!
Good list, David. I would recommend Mike Cernovich and his site dangerandplay.com as well as Victor Pride and his site boldanddetermined.com. Both sites I have found the information valuable to self improvement.
Hey Chris – thanks for the recommendations!
Sweet. I actually haven’t checked out any of these guys, but that’s about to change. I wanted to recommend my friend Greg O’Gallagher. He’s primarily a fitness expert. His site is Kinobody.com. He’s got some great stuff and advice. He’s also a buddy of mine and he’s a really cool guy in general.
I also wanted to recommend Tynan and any of his books. His 2 most recent books, “Superhuman by Habit”(AMAZING book about habit building) and “:Superhuman Social Skills” are two very solid books. If you’re low on reading material, I highly recommend.
Great recommendations Walden. I’m going to email you and see if you can hook me up with your buddy Greg, he seems like an awesome guy! Also good call with Tynan, he played a large role in the beginning of my self-improvement journey.
Are there any blogs you recommend that are geared toward men and written by women?
Thanks a lot David. I will check all of them. I have watched a few of Greg O’Gallagher’s Kinobody youtube videos. Really good.
I have been an avid follower of Brendon Burchard and have been reading his awesome hardcover books too (which he has been giving out for free – you just pay for postage). His YouTube videos especially are fantastic. It’s all about living your best life, living life with a purpose and achieving your goals. His website is http://brendonburchard.com/
Hey Leon, thanks for the recommendation. I’ve never heard of Brendon, I’ll take a look at his site.
Hey David!! Gracias por la lista, tengo un par que quiero recomendar.
Coach Corey Wayne: http://www.understandingrelationships.com, that is about Dating, pick up and relationship,life advice, I find it very useful.
Al Kavadlo and Mike Matthews: Those guys are fitness guys and are pretty awesome.
You can find Al Kavadlo in his website http://www.alkavadlo.com and youtube channel, Mike Matthews has a website called http://www.muscleforlife.com, very useful information and a very cool guy.
Hola Dacero, gracias por las recomendaciones! I also am a fan of Mike Matthews, but I haven’t heard of the other two guys. I’ll check them out now.
Hey David,
Another one that I wanted to add is a seduction/relationship website, I find his advice bolt and very down to earth http://www.globalseducer.com
Thanks a lot Dacero!
I actually like How to Beast too 😉
A great list up there David. Most of these blogs are new to me and the bits I’ve checked out are worth the time. Orderofman has an illuminating interview with Jack Donovan (The Way of Men). Always good to see the confidence to recommend others work.
Thanks man – I’ll have to check out that Jack Donovan interview!
I’m surprised you never mention http://www.artofmanliness.com.
Thanks RC, AoM is definitely a great resource.
Interesting list, I’ll have to check some of these out. I’ve recently been reading some of Ludvig Sunstrom’s work over at http://www.startgainingmomentum.com. It’s great for delving deeper into self-development and some more advanced topics. Best wishes!
Thanks for the recommendation Joel! I’ve heard of Ludvig before – I need to go check out his blog now.
I’m surprised nobody brought up boldanddetermined.com or dangerandplay.com those sites are my biggest inspirations and they’re huge and successful
Hey man, someone did already mention them above but thanks for adding to the discussion.
The blog maintained by dating coach Nick Notas has made a big positive difference in my personal life. I’d recommend it to any guy.
Thanks man. I interviewed Nick on my podcast and he’s a great guy!
Any blogs by mature men for mature men??? Wtf guys in the 20s giving advice is kinda funny..:)
For more mature guys we (Rock and I) made a new site called “Midlife Crisis”, It’s an off shoot blog from our no B.S. Growandconquer network. Its middle aged guys who know the game offering our experience on getting laid, jacked etc….
https://growandconquer.com/midlifecrisis
Oh, and I really enjoy this site Dave, the manosphere needs more of this kind of material.
Thanks Mark! I’m going to take a look at G&C now.
Menprovement is my favourite one on this list 🙂
This is great platform to learn new things. Great work!
I know you’ve already got a solid list, but I think you should consider adding Craig Ballantyne of Early to Rise (earlytorise.com). He’s got some amazing content in the self-improvement and empowerment space. Plus, a podcast and a bunch of other media.
Thanks, David de las Morenas for this excellent list I’ll go through with this list.
It looks very impressive and breathtaking. Thanks for such good resource list, can’t choose from which from which one I want to start.

Hey,
I’ve recently started a brand of products aimed at men and designed to increase confidence, I’m looking to get as much exposure as possible to grow the brand and thought advertising around blogs would be a good idea. I was wandering if you could recommend or suggest anyone that may be worth contacting?
