Hardcore Literature is our book club. If you enjoy deep dives into the greatest books ever written, you will love Hardcore Literature. Provocative poems, evocative epics, and life-changing literary analyses. We don’t just read the great books – we live them. Together we’ll suck the marrow out of Shakespeare, Homer, and Tolstoy. We’ll relish the most moving art ever committed to the page and stage from every age. Join us on the reading adventure of a lifetime.

Hardcore Health is the no-nonsense non-mainstream health and fitness advice geared to make you happy, healthy, and strong, with a focus on longevity, clean living, and holistic training programs.

Hardcore University contains everything you need to thrive in elite educational environments: how to write first-grade papers, how to study more effectively in less time, how to avoid burnout, and so much more.

Hardcore Film is our film club. If you want to discuss classic movies, foreign cinema, and mine these great films for life lessons, you’re in the right place.

Hardcore Music is our album-of-the-month club. There’s a heavy focus on jazz and classical, with techniques on how to use music to improve your life.

Hardcore Art is your guide to appreciating great works of art, from Titian and Picasso to Van Gogh and Pollock. 

Hardcore Humanity is your psychology class. Here we deal with human relationships, how to connect and relate to other people, and how to know yourself better through others.
