Welcome to the GOOD Library

Books have shaped the way I think for most of my life.

Some have challenged my assumptions. Others have changed the way I see the world. A few have become trusted companions that I've returned to time and time again, not necessarily because I agree with everything they say, but because they've encouraged me to think.

This isn't a collection of five-star reviews or a list of books everyone should read. Instead, it's a growing library of books that have influenced my thinking in some way. Some I strongly recommend. Others I admire whilst disagreeing with parts of their message. A few I challenge quite strongly.

Every review is written through the lens of The GOOD Method.

The GOOD Method is a behavioural framework built around a simple question: How do we create more choice and control in our lives, irrespective of our social or economic background? Rather than asking whether a book is simply "good" or "bad", I explore what we can learn from it, where I agree, where I disagree and how its ideas stand up today.

Rather than asking, "Is this a good book?" I ask different questions.

  • What can we learn from it?

  • Which ideas have stood the test of time?

  • Where does modern evidence support or challenge its conclusions?

  • Which principles genuinely earn their place?

I don't expect you to agree with every opinion I share, and that's the point. The purpose of GOOD Library isn't to tell you what to think. It's to encourage you to think for yourself.

If a book changes your perspective, starts a conversation or simply makes you ask better questions, then it's already done something worthwhile.

Happy reading.
