Collective Hub makes business and life books for people who would rather be doing than reading about doing. The tone is frank, the design is good enough to leave out, and most titles come with a companion to write in.
The range is led by serial entrepreneur and best-selling author Lisa Messenger. We stock Purpose, Life & Love, Money & Mindfulness and Breakups & Breakthroughs, alongside the Daring & Disruptive, Life & Love and Money & Mindfulness playbooks, so called because they are not meant to feel like work. There are journals too: the Kindness Journal, the Know Your Numbers Journal for business owners and the Purpose Planner, plus Issue 55 of the Collective Hub coffee table mook, part magazine and part book.
For a gift, pair a book with its playbook. For someone starting a business, the Know Your Numbers Journal is the practical choice. Browse more in our gifts for the girlboss edit.
Who is behind Collective Hub?
Collective Hub books are led by Lisa Messenger, a serial entrepreneur and best-selling author whose titles include Daring & Disruptive, Life & Love and Money & Mindfulness. The books draw on her own experience of business, money and relationships.
What is the difference between a book and a playbook?
The book is the reading. The playbook is designed to be used alongside it, with prompts, exercises and space to write, so you can put the ideas into practice. Each works on its own but makes most sense as a pair.
Which Collective Hub journal suits someone starting a business?
The Know Your Numbers Journal is built for getting your head around cash flow and profit and loss, wherever you are in the business lifecycle. Pair it with the Daring & Disruptive Playbook for the ideas side.
What is a mook?
It is Collective Hub's word for something that is not quite a magazine and not quite a book. Our Issue 55 coffee table mook has profiles, peeks inside creative people's homes and bucket list restaurants, and looks good on a coffee table.
