About

About the press

An independent publisher, and the home for the Wisdom Forge family of books, companion workbooks, and planners.

Wisdom Forge Press exists for one reason: to help people build the lives they actually want. It is the umbrella for The Wisdom Forge and everything built around it - the books, the companion workbooks, and the planners that turn its method into daily practice.

Too many people move through life without direction, carried along by good intentions that never quite become action. The press publishes for the opposite: people who want a clear purpose, who know what that purpose is, and who want to pursue it well, by putting the wisdom already available to them in books and other media to real use.

Everything here is built to be read, to change how you live, to be shared, and to carry you toward a life of fulfillment. Not wisdom to admire and forget, but wisdom to work.

Wisdom Forge Press was founded in 2026 and is based in Edmonton, Alberta. See the catalog.

Common questions

What is Wisdom Forge Press?

Wisdom Forge Press is an independent publisher based in Edmonton, Alberta. It publishes The Wisdom Forge, a growing line of companion workbooks that put its method into practice, and new translations of enduring works.

What are the companion workbooks?

Each companion workbook is a practical implementation guide to a well-known book, built using the Wisdom Forge Method. It turns the ideas in that book into structured exercises, honest self-audits, and short action windows, so the reading becomes practice.

Are the companion workbooks affiliated with the original authors?

No. They are independent, unofficial guides. They are not affiliated with, authorized, or endorsed by the authors or publishers of the original books.

Where can I buy Wisdom Forge Press books?

Titles are released through major retailers such as Amazon. Each book's page in the catalog links to where it is available as it goes on sale.

Who is behind Wisdom Forge Press?

The press was founded by Josiah Crowell, the author of The Wisdom Forge.

How is The Wisdom Forge related to the press?

The Wisdom Forge is the book the press was built around. It has its own home at thewisdomforge.com, and Wisdom Forge Press publishes it alongside the companion workbooks.
