The Porch Rocks Glass
Latitude24 Wave Crest
The 11 oz heavy-base rocks glass pictured on the porch table in Deliberately Selfish. Etched with the Latitude24 Books wave crest for slow sips after sundown.
Modern culture conflates exhaustion with virtue and equates self-sacrifice with moral worth. We spend the first half of our lives letting corporate ladders, borrowed expectations, and other people's obligations drain our irreplaceable time.
Deliberately Selfish reclaims the word. The debut release from Latitude24 Books, this field guide argues that deliberate selfishness isn't cruelty or greed — it's the rigorous stewardship of your finite hours. Drawing on Nietzsche, Montaigne, and the hard economics of life energy, this fireside conversation shows why disappointing the crowd is the price of admission to your own life — and why protecting yourself is how you show up whole for the people who matter most.

Our Story · The Panhandle Connection
Latitude24 Books is a small, independent press rooted in the Florida Panhandle — the stretch of coast where longleaf pine gives way to salt marsh, where the roads turn to sugar sand, and where a good story still gets told on the porch after dark.
We're launching our press with our debut print release, Selfish by Bryan Green, alongside custom press goods crafted for readers who appreciate tactile objects, honest ideas, and coastal heritage.
