Editor's Note
At Undaunted.Life, we equip men to push back
darkness by providing content that forges
spiritual, mental, and physical resilience. The
cultivation of mental resilience is one of the more
neglected areas of development for men. One of
the easiest ways to build mental resilience is to
read books regularly.
It is an all-too-common reality that many men
across the globe neglect the further development
of their minds after they close their textbooks for
the final time at the end of their formal education.
This is an immature philosophy that is held up by
the scaffolding of laziness and lethargy.
This list is meant to serve as a catalyst for you to
find books that will interest and push you. As a
modern Christian man, it is imperative that you be
well-rounded in your knowledge of a multitude of
subject matters. Thank you for taking this step
with us, and KEEP SEEKING THE LION OF JUDAH!

 OVERVIEW
This is a "living" list; meaning books will be added and removed often. The time
of the last update will be indicated on the top right of the cover page.
The books are broken down into 15 categories presented in alphabetical order.
The books are in alphabetical order by title within each category.
Many of these books do not come from a Christian worldview.
Some of these books are not appropriate for all ages.
We're sure that many of these authors have done/said/believed/etc. things
that would offend some people's modern sensibilities. The books were chosen
for how relevant the content would be for the men that read them and not how
pristine or perfect the authors are/were as individuals.
For easy access, the books covers and titles below are hyperlinked to their
Amazon pages so you can easily read the book descriptions yourself.
All books are available for purchase on most digital and audio platforms, but
we highly recommend that you support local bookstores if you are buying a
physical copy.
Kyle's top 10 favorite books are indicated with a on the book cover. His
favorite book is indicated with a on the book cover.
