About Us

22 Lions is an independent publishing house dedicated to publishing bold, transformative ideas that challenge perspectives and elevate lives.

Founded in 2014, we began with a simple yet ambitious mission: to give visionary writers a platform where their work is respected, beautifully crafted, and reaches readers who need it most. More than a decade later, that mission remains unchanged.

We specialize in high-impact nonfiction—personal development, psychology, esoteric knowledge, business, and practical philosophy—alongside select works of fiction that carry deep meaning. Every title in our catalog is chosen because it has the power to shift minds, awaken potential, and inspire real change.

Recognized as Leading Advocates for Inspirational Nonfiction Books (USA) by CV Magazine’s Corporate Excellence Awards 2018 and named Best Digital Bookstore & Publishing Company at the 2017 Entertainment Awards, we measure success not by bestseller lists alone, but by the messages our readers send telling us a book changed their life.
