UNPLUGGED – What Our Fathers Did not Tell Us

As children, we learnt from Disney that if you treat her like a queen, she will treat you like a King. We were also taught that a man should go on one knee while proposing to a woman because women are the prize. We were also taught that we should listen to our wives and be gentlemen because women like nice boys they can trust and not bad boys who weren’t faithful. Men have tested these ideas, and thousands of men have lived to share their experiences and results. This book consolidates what men have learnt about intergender dynamics: what works and what does not work.

Today, marriage rates are declining. Forty per cent of single black women in the US are single mothers who prioritize getting babies over getting in a stable long-term commitment, aka marriage. Why do many young girls today prefer becoming side chicks to high-value men rather than settling in marriage with an average man?

In 2019, the American Psychological Association labelled traditional masculinity as harmful. But if so, why are women striving to be like men? What is the impact of masculine females on relationships? Why are women being told to “act like a lady and think like a man” if masculinity is harmful?

What attracts women to men, and how can men maintain that attachment? In the age of social media, where women get free attention and validation from hundreds of men, how do men in long term relationships deal with partners who feel they have so many options?

Women file for divorce 70-80% of the time in the western world. How can men navigate marriage with modern women incentivized to divorce by divorce laws? Why did the Greeks equate the feminine with chaos, represented as the goddess Pandora? Why are most oracles in epics female, and why did God tell Adam that his first sin was listening to Eve?

On average, men’s handgrip strength, testosterone levels, and overall masculinity is declining, while women’s enrolment rates in universities have outstripped those of men. Among trans adults, the majority are men who say they were born female. Why? Why is masculinity on the decline?

In 2021, before a whole school assembly at Brauer College in Victoria, Australia, the male students were all told to stand up, turn to a girl in their class and say sorry. Yet they had done nothing wrong. Based on Census Bureau historical data and Morgan Stanley forecasts, 45% of prime working-age women (ages 25-44) will be single by 2030—the largest share in history—up from 41% in 2018.

This book traces the origin of the steady decline of the man’s role in the family. It also seeks to help men understand female nature, revitalize masculinity and build full-stack men who can navigate relationships while providing leadership in an increasingly gynocentric world that has largely silenced men.
This book will plug you from comforting lies to cold hard truths.

The Two Body Problem by Jacob Aliet

Adult & Contemporary Romance, Books
KShs1,000.00 KShs650.00
The Two Body Problem What if everything you were told about love, sacrifice, and partnership was wrong? In The Two-Body Problem, Jacob Aliet dismantles the silent script that has derailed countless men: give everything, expect loyalty, lose yourself. With clinical precision and emotional candor, he exposes how modern men are conditioned to trade ambition for affection, sovereignty for supportiveness—and how that trade often ends in betrayal, invisibility, or quiet collapse. This is not a book about blaming women. It is a manual for remembering who you are. Drawing from evolutionary psychology, real-life case studies, and unapologetic red-pill truths, Aliet reframes masculinity not as toxic or outdated, but as purposeful, strategic, and non-negotiable. You’ll journey through: • The hidden epidemic of male emotional erasure • Why “supporting her dream” may cost you your purpose • How the digital age created a Simp Economy—and how to escape it • The real stakes of the Two-Body Problem in dual-career relationships • Frameworks for reclaiming masculine edge, emotional autonomy, and mission clarity From boardrooms to bedrooms, from broken marriages to broken men, this book is a mirror, a map, and a manifesto. Whether you're newly in love, recovering from loss, or seeking to lead without losing yourself—The Two-Body Problem offers the language, the tools, and the fire to rise again. You don’t have to abandon love. You just have to stop abandoning yourself.

THE BETRAYAL BLUEPRINT by Jacob Aliet

Self Help & Motivation
KShs800.00 KShs650.00
Betrayal is not chaos—it’s calculus. In a world where loyalty is a myth and infidelity the new normal, The Betrayal Blueprint shatters the comforting illusions of modern love. Drawing on evolutionary psychology, behavioral science, and red pill philosophy, Jacob Aliet exposes the hidden architecture of cheating. Through groundbreaking models like the Infidelity Probability Matrix (IPM) and Cheater’s Signature Model (CSM), he reveals how attraction, opportunity, and psychology converge to produce predictable patterns of betrayal. This is not a book about bitterness — it’s a manual for awareness. It teaches men to decode emotional withdrawal, detect behavioral red flags, and understand the sociosexual spectrum that separates the loyal from the restless. For men seeking clarity, women seeking truth, and thinkers daring enough to look beneath romance into raw biology, The Betrayal Blueprint is both mirror and map — showing why infidelity isn’t random, but written in our psychology. Read slowly. Reflect deeply. Learn before it burns.

Unplugged 5 – Operant Conditioning by Jacob Aliet

Books, Self Help & Motivation, Social Issues
KShs1,700.00 KShs1,500.00
UNPLUGGED V: Operant Conditioning What does it mean to be a man in an era where masculinity is mocked, purpose is blurred, and love has become transactional? In UNPLUGGED V: Operant Conditioning, Jacob Aliet delivers his most raw, unflinching, and revelatory volume yet in the UNPLUGGED series. This is not just a book — it’s a weapon against manipulation, a manual for reclaiming personal sovereignty, and a manifesto for men lost in the maze of modern relationships. Drawing from behavioral psychology, real-world anecdotes, evolutionary science, and red-pill philosophy, Aliet exposes the hidden dynamics that condition men to become subservient — emotionally, financially, and sexually — in their own homes and relationships. With brutal clarity, he dismantles the myths of “happy wife, happy life,” unpacks why men are being desexualized and manipulated, and shows how operant conditioning is quietly shaping male behavior in marriages, churches, offices, and bedrooms. From the crisis of the middle-class man, to why women "make rules for betas and break them for alphas", to the lies men and women tell themselves, and finally, to how to walk away and reclaim your frame — this book confronts the cultural illusions suffocating modern masculinity. 🔥 Why you should read it: • If you're tired of the emotional bureaucracy that nice guys go through… • If you're questioning why success doesn’t bring fulfillment… • If you've ever felt manipulated, emasculated, or invisible in a relationship… • If you want to raise strong sons in a world that is actively weakening men… Then this book will feel like a slap, a sermon, and a sword. UNPLUGGED V is not for the weak. It’s for the man who’s ready to see the truth, bear the cost, and live free.

Strange Encounters by Jacob Aliet

Books
KShs1,500.00 KShs1,150.00
STRANGE ENCOUNTERS A rapidly evolving creature wants to reproduce. It chances upon five girls who have hired an uber and the girls get into a long, dramatic night once they get into the uber cab, and their lives are changed forever. Through the diabolical acts of an evil neighbor, one night the hand of a dead person slaps a village boy and leaves him deranged. His mother hires the services of a fearsome witchdoctor to save her son. The villagers are shocked at what the witchdoctor disruptively uproots from their quiet midst. In a far-flung village in Kenya called Kamser, locals believe that a snake must cleanse itself by licking the fresh grave of the victim it has killed or be crushed by the weight of the departed soul. One of their kinsmen is fatally bitten by a snake and they decide to put the myth to the test with spellbinding results. A brazen night runner intent on spooking travelers on a moonlit night stumbles upon a savage soldier returning home after an assignment at the battlefield. The night runner’s subject is not the typical lone traveler. What follows is a vigorous reckoning. After a tragic loss of his beloved daughter, a man suffers a crisis of faith and rigorously studies his faith with an inquiring mind. He engages his pastor in revealing and thought-provoking conversations. What insights does he have? These are some of the stories in Strange Encounters.

KShs3,099.00 KShs2,890.00
E-Myth No.1: the entrepreneurial myth: the myth that most people who start small businesses are entrepreneurs 2: the fatal assumption that an individual who understands the technical work of a business can successfully run a business that does that technical work Voted #1 business book by Inc. 500 CEOs. An instant classic, this revised and updated edition of the phenomenal bestseller dispels the myths about starting your own business. Small business consultant and author Michael E.

The E-Myth Revisited will help you grow your business in a productive, assured way.

And the Mountains Echoed by Khaled Hosseini

Rated 5.00 out of 5
KShs1,790.00 KShs1,590.00
So, then. You want a story and I will tell you one... Afghanistan, 1952. Abdullah and his sister Pari live with their father and stepmother in the small village of Shadbagh. Their father, Saboor, is constantly in search of work and they struggle together through poverty and brutal winters. To Abdullah, Pari - as beautiful and sweet-natured as the fairy for which she was named - is everything. More like a parent than a brother, Abdullah will do anything for her, even trading his only pair of shoes for a feather for her treasured collection. Each night they sleep together in their cot, their heads touching, their limbs tangled. One day the siblings journey across the desert to Kabul with their father. Pari and Abdullah have no sense of the fate that awaits them there, for the event which unfolds will tear their lives apart; sometimes a finger must be cut to save the hand. Crossing generations and continents, moving from Kabul, to Paris, to San Francisco, to the Greek island of Tinos, with profound wisdom, depth, insight and compassion, Khaled Hosseini writes about the bonds that define us and shape our lives, the ways in which we help our loved ones in need, how the choices we make resonate through history and how we are often surprised by the people closest to us.

Wizard of the Crow by Ngugi wa Thiongo

Books, African Interest, Kenya Fiction
Rated 3.00 out of 5
KShs3,500.00 KShs2,990.00
Brief Summary From the exiled Kenyan novelist, playwright, poet, and literary critic--a magisterial comic novel that is certain to take its place as a landmark of postcolonial African literature. In exile now for more than twenty years, Ngugi wa Thiongo has become one of the most widely read African writers of our time, the power and scope of his work garnering him international attention and praise. His aim in Wizard of the Crow is, in his own words, nothing less than "to sum up Africa of the twentieth century in the context of two thousand years of world history.” Commencing in "our times” and set in the "Free Republic of Aburiria,” the novel dramatizes with corrosive humor and keenness of observation a battle for control of the souls of the Aburirian people. Among the contenders: His High Mighty Excellency; the eponymous Wizard, an avatar of folklore and wisdom; the corrupt Christian Ministry; and the nefarious Global Bank. Fashioning the stories of the powerful and the ordinary into a dazzling mosaic, Wizard of the Crow reveals humanity in all its endlessly surprising complexity. Informed by richly enigmatic traditional African storytelling, Wizard of the Crow is a masterpiece, the crowning achievement in Ngugl wa Thiongo’s career thus far.

Good to Great by Jim Collins

Books, Business
KShs3,290.00 KShs3,090.00
The Challenge Built to Last, the defining management study of the nineties, showed how great companies triumph over time and how long-term sustained performance can be engineered into the DNA of an enterprise from the very beginning. But what about the company that is not born with great DNA? How can good companies, mediocre companies, even bad companies achieve enduring greatness? The Study For years, this question preyed on the mind of Jim Collins. Are there companies that defy gravity and convert long-term mediocrity or worse into long-term superiority? And if so, what are the universal distinguishing characteristics that cause a company to go from good to great? The Standards Using tough benchmarks, Collins and his research team identified a set of elite companies that made the leap to great results and sustained those results for at least fifteen years. How great? After the leap, the good-to-great companies generated cumulative stock returns that beat the general stock market by an average of seven times in fifteen years, better than twice the results delivered by a composite index of the world's greatest companies, including Coca-Cola, Intel, General Electric, and Merck. The Comparisons The research team contrasted the good-to-great companies with a carefully selected set of comparison companies that failed to make the leap from good to great. What was different? Why did one set of companies become truly great performers while the other set remained only good? Over five years, the team analyzed the histories of all twenty-eight companies in the study. After sifting through mountains of data and thousands of pages of interviews, Collins and his crew discovered the key determinants of greatness — why some companies make the leap and others don't. The Findings The findings of the Good to Great study will surprise many readers and shed light on virtually every area of management strategy and practice. The findings include: Level 5 Leaders: The research team was shocked to discover the type of leadership required to achieve greatness. The Hedgehog Concept (Simplicity within the Three Circles): To go from good to great requires transcending the curse of competence. A Culture of Discipline: When you combine a culture of discipline with an ethic of entrepreneurship, you get the magical alchemy of great results. Technology Accelerators: Good-to-great companies think differently about the role of technology. The Flywheel and the Doom Loop: Those who launch radical change programs and wrenching restructurings will almost certainly fail to make the leap. "Some of the key concepts discerned in the study,” comments Jim Collins, "fly in the face of our modern business culture and will, quite frankly, upset some people.” Perhaps, but who can afford to ignore these findings? "Some of the key concepts discerned in the study," comments Jim Collins, "fly in the face of our modern business culture and will, quite frankly, upset some people." Perhaps, but who can afford to ignore these findings?"

The 5 Levels of Leadership by John Maxwell

Books, Business, Entrepreneurs, Self Help & Motivation
KShs2,190.00 KShs1,990.00
True leadership isn't a matter of having a certain job or title. In fact, being chosen for a position is only the first of the five levels every effective leader achieves. To become more than "the boss" people follow only because they are required to, you have to master the ability to invest in people and inspire them. To grow further in your role, you must achieve results and build a team that produces. You need to help people to develop their skills to become leaders in their own right. And if you have the skill and dedication, you can reach the pinnacle of leadership-where experience will allow you to extend your influence beyond your immediate reach and time for the benefit of others. The 5 Levels of Leadership are: 1. Position - People follow because they have to. 2. Permission - People follow because they want to. 3. Production - People follow because of what you have done for the organization. 4. People Development - People follow because of what you have done for them personally. 5. Pinnacle - People follow because of who you are and what you represent. Through humor, in-depth insight, and examples, internationally recognized leadership expert John C. Maxwell describes each of these stages of leadership. He shows you how to master each level and rise up to the next to become a more influential, respected, and successful leader.

Dust by Yvonne Adhiambo Owuor

Books, African Interest
Rated 4.00 out of 5
KShs2,500.00 KShs2,090.00
From a breathtaking new voice, a novel about a splintered family in Kenya—a story of power and deceit, unrequited love, survival and sacrifice. Odidi Oganda, running for his life, is gunned down in the streets of Nairobi. His grief-stricken sister, Ajany, just returned from Brazil, and their father bring his body back to their crumbling home in the Kenyan dry lands, seeking some comfort and peace. But the murder has stirred memories long left untouched and unleashed a series of unexpected events: Odidi and Ajany’s mercurial mother flees in a fit of rage; a young Englishman arrives at the Ogandas’ house, seeking his missing father; a hardened policeman who has borne witness to unspeakable acts reopens a cold case; and an all-seeing Trader with a murky identity plots an overdue revenge. In scenes stretching from the violent upheaval of contemporary Kenya back through a shocking political assassination in 1969 and the Mau Mau uprisings against British colonial rule in the 1950s, we come to learn the secrets held by this parched landscape, buried deep within the shared past of the family and of a conflicted nation. Here is a spellbinding novel about a brother and sister who have lost their way; about how myths come to pass, history is written, and war stains us forever.

The Education of a British Protected Child by Chinua Achebe

Books, African Interest
KShs2,000.00 KShs1,890.00
From the celebrated author of Things Fall Apart and winner of the Man Booker International Prize comes a new collection of autobiographical essays—his first new book in more than twenty years. Chinua Achebe’s characteristically measured and nuanced voice is everywhere present in these seventeen beautifully written pieces. In a preface, he discusses his historic visit to his Nigerian homeland on the occasion of the fiftieth anniversary of the publication of Things Fall Apart, the story of his tragic car accident nearly twenty years ago, and the potent symbolism of President Obama’s election. In "The Education of a British-Protected Child,” Achebe gives us a vivid portrait of growing up in colonial Nigeria and inhabiting its "middle ground,” recalling both his happy memories of reading novels in secondary school and the harsher truths of colonial rule. In "Spelling Our Proper Name,” Achebe considers the African-American diaspora, meeting and reading Langston Hughes and James Baldwin, and learning what it means not to know "from whence he came.” The complex politics and history of Africa figure in "What Is Nigeria to Me?,” "Africa’s Tarnished Name,” and "Politics and Politicians of Language in African Literature.” And Achebe’s extraordinary family life comes into view in "My Dad and Me” and "My Daughters,” where we observe the effect of Christian missionaries on his father and witness the culture shock of raising "brown” children in America. Charmingly personal, intellectually disciplined, and steadfastly wise, The Education of a British-Protected Child is an indispensable addition to the remarkable Achebe oeuvre.

Are you ready to move into the second half of your life? Bob Buford believes the second half of your life can be better than the first. Much better. But first, you need time to figure out what you want to do with the rest of your life. In Halftime, Buford focuses on this important time of transition—the time when, as he says, a person moves beyond the first half of the game of life. It’s halftime, a time of revitalization and for catching a new vision for living the second half, the half where life can be lived at its most rewarding. As Buford explains, "My passion is to multiply all that God has given me, and in the process, give it back.” Features of this newly updated and expanded 20th Anniversary edition include a foreword by Jim Collins, the bestselling author of Good to Great; new questions for reflection or discussion at the end of each chapter; brand new "halftime” stories of men and women enjoying a second half of significance; specific halftime assignments to guide readers into their second-half mission; an essay by Bob on "The Wisdom of Peter Drucker”; a special update from the author on how the halftime movement is growing nationally, and links to outstanding resources.
