Most marriage books wait until something is broken. The Marriage Maintenance Manuals take a different approach: they treat a marriage like any complex system that works better with regular, intentional maintenance. Each edition targets a specific context, from new parents to dual-career couples to partners rebuilding after a breach of trust. Alex Merrett writes the way a trusted friend gives advice: direct, warm, and grounded in what the research actually says.
The Marriage Maintenance Manual
Scripts, checklists, and weekly routines you'll love to use.
The flagship edition. A complete maintenance system for any marriage that still has goodwill left in the tank.
The Marriage Maintenance Manual for Rebuilding Trust
Scripts, protocols, and a step-by-step path back from infidelity.
For couples working through a breach of trust. Structured repair protocols, accountability frameworks, and the hard conversations most books avoid.
Life after fifty is a design problem, not a tragedy. Gregory Sloane writes for systems thinkers, professionals, and introverts who are systematically underserved by the existing later-life literature. His books replace platitudes with named frameworks, implementation protocols, and concrete tools. Every chapter ends with a Minimum Viable System: the smallest version of the framework that still works, for the reader who needs one thing to do today.

A practical guide for homeowners over fifty to build the systems for aging safely at home. Stay, move, downsize, or redesign: a structured decision framework.
The best ideas in human history are buried in books that most people will never open. Each book takes one great thinker and distils their most important ideas into exactly one hundred pages. No jargon. No academic gatekeeping. Just the ideas that matter, explained clearly, with practical application for modern life. Robert J. Hale studied philosophy at Oxford and Leiden, then spent thirty years discovering that the great thinkers were more useful in boardrooms than they had ever been in lecture halls.

Friedrich Nietzsche in One Hundred Pages

Self-improvement as a project, not a journey. Claire Langton brings fifteen years in applied behavioral science to a series where each book tackles one essential human challenge with a consistent five-part structure: Problem, Truth, Project, Blueprint, Future. For adults who are sceptical of self-help but want science without jargon and plans without guru energy.
