15 men who blog that you should be following

I am a big fan of blogs. I follow several that I read regularly and have them set up on my Feedly list so that with a visit to just one place I can get all my favorite reads collected for me.

Blogs appeal to me in that they get the author’s point across rather quickly giving me time to read several points of view much quicker than I could in a book. Many of the blogs I read are by men who have established themselves as experts in their field. Business leaders. Fashion advisers. Chefs. Artists. Thinkers and Influencers.

Below is a list of 15 men who blog that you should be following to help you step up your game. In no particular order I give you…

15 men who blog that you should be following

men who blog art of manliness Brett McKay

Brett McKay
Brett McKay writes The Art of Manliness — a blog dedicated to uncovering the lost art of being a man. On his “About” page, Brett writes, “Many men today feel adrift and have lost the confidence, focus, skills, and virtues that men of the past embodied. In an increasingly androgynous society, modern men are confused about their role and what it means to be an honorable, well-rounded man. The Art of Manliness seeks to fill this void and offer an alternative to those who believe there’s more to being a man than expensive clothes and the hot babe of the month.”
He covers topics such as ‘Dress and Grooming’, ‘Manly Skills’ and ‘Relationships and Family’. Recent posts include “6 Tips for Gym Newbies”, “How to Control a Job Interview” and “A Primer on Friedrich Nietzsche: His Life and Philosophical Style”.

MITCH MITCHELL
Mitch Mitchell writes several blogs though ‘I’m Just Sharing’ is where he shares his thoughts on writing, blogging, social media, internet marketing, and many other topics. You never know what he will write about there. He is also a best selling author and sought after public speaker sharing his success tactics on health care finance issues, leadership and management, diversity and motivation.
About ‘I’m Just Sharing’, Mitch says, “If nothing else, you will be entertained, challenged, or informed; what more could anyone want from a blog? If you’re not, then I’ll just rant for myself.”
His latest book, “Leadership Is/Isn’t Easy” is a good read for anyone in a management position.

men who blog The Minimalists

THE MINIMALISTS
Joshua Fields Millburn & Ryan Nicodemus write for 4 million readers about living a meaningful life with less stuff and have been featured on: ABC, CBS, NBC, BBC, TODAY, NPR, TIME, Forbes, The Atlantic, New York Times, Wall Street Journal, USA Today, and National Post.
In their blog, they write about minimalism and their thoughts on living a minimalist lifestyle. They explain “Minimalists don’t focus on having less; rather, we focus on making room for more: more time, more passion, more experiences, more growth, more contribution, more contentment. More freedom. Clearing the clutter from life’s path helps us make that room.”
Their first book, Minimalism: Live a Meaningful Life really got the ball rolling for me and, beside their blog, is a good place to start your path to a minimalist lifestyle. (Notice how short Ryan’s hair is on the cover compared to now.)

men who blog James Altucher

JAMES ALTUCHER
James Altucher is the author of several national best sellers including “Choose Yourself!” in which he discusses how “…everything we aspired to for “security,” everything we thought was “safe,” no longer is: College. Employment. Retirement. Government. In every part of society, the middlemen are being pushed out of the picture. No longer is someone coming to hire you, to invest in your company, to sign you, to pick you. It’s on you to make the most important decision in your life: Choose Yourself.”
In his blog he writes insightful articles teaching us how we can choose ourselves as well as why he has had four death threats, his experiences and lessons learned from living at The Chelsea and how he screwed Yasser Arafat out of $2mm and lost another $100mm in the process.

men who blog Austin Kleon

AUSTIN KLEON
You can know I am following Austin’s teachings because I actually stole the idea for this blog post from someone else. That is what Austin Kleon preaches in his book “Steal Like an Artist“. He says since nothing under the sun is original, find what inspires you, build on it and make it better. Austin Kleon is the New York Times bestselling author of three illustrated books: Steal Like An Artist, Newspaper Blackout, and Show Your Work! His work has been translated into over twenty languages and featured on NPR’s Morning Edition, PBS Newshour, and in The New York Times and The Wall Street Journal. New York Magazine called his work “brilliant,” The Atlantic called him “positively one of the most interesting people on the Internet,” and The New Yorker said his poems “resurrect the newspaper when everybody else is declaring it dead.” He speaks about creativity in the digital age for organizations such as Pixar, Google, SXSW, TEDx, and The Economist.

men who blog tim ferriss four hour workweek

TIM FERRISS
The New York Times calls him “A cross between Jack Welch and a Buddhist monk.”
Tim Ferriss is a serial entrepreneur, #1 New York Times bestselling author, including The 4-Hour Workweek, and angel investor/advisor (Facebook, Twitter, Evernote, Uber, and 20+ more).
Tim Ferris is a master of meta-learning. That is to say, learning things fast by applying Pareto’s Principle (the 80-20 Rule). This principle states that “roughly 80% of the effects come from 20% of the causes”. In other words, the 80/20 rule is stating you can often get a large percentage of the results you want by finding the right 20% of either actions or specific things to concentrate on. An example of this is by learning just three guitar chords you can play thousands of songs.
Read his blog for many other useful tools and skills.

In the battle against conventional beliefs, we focus on three core areas: Life, Work, and Travel. The key theme that links each of these topics is non-conformity. I define non-conformity as “a lack of orthodoxy in thoughts or beliefs” or “the refusal to accept established customs, attitudes, or ideas.””

Having been a professional cook and baker most of his life, David Lebovitz launched his website in 1999 to coincide with the release of his first book. In 2004 he turned the site into his blog. David Lebovitz was named one of the Top Five Pastry Chefs in the Bay Area by the San Francisco Chronicle and has been featured in Bon Appétit, Chocolatier, Cooking Light, Food+Wine, Cook’s Illustrated, The Los Angeles Times, Newsweek, Travel and Leisure, The New York Times, People, Saveur, Sunset, and USA Today.
I first discovered David when I picked up his book “The Sweet Life in Paris” which tells the story of his move to Paris and includes stories about how he adjusted to life in a city that sometimes left him scratching his head, but ultimately won him over. The book caught my eye at a time I was seriously considering moving to Paris as well.
David has so-far written seven books including one of my favorite cook books, “Ready for Dessert” which is a collection of his all-time favorite recipes.

Nick goes into great detail breaking down fashion and style of characters including many screens shots and descriptions for a wide range of individuals and styles.
