A House Toast is a small gathering of 6 to 10 people, around 90 minutes, built around a single shared value. Raise a glass to what matters. Whoever wants to host the next one passes the toast.

Book of Houses began as an artifact inside a novel called Pudding Heroes. At the end of the book, the surviving protagonist opens a field guide called The Book of Houses. You’re holding what she opened.
This site is the world of the novel made real. 484 Houses, real people, real gatherings, all built on the same idea the book is about: intent creates the future.
We don’t pick from a list of five basic personality types. We match you from over 484 real human values, things like Playfulness, Flexibility, Love, or Freedom.
Every member has a Shadow, a personal AI that works in the background. It drafts when you’re stuck, surfaces what matters, keeps you connected to your House when life gets in the way. It proposes. You decide. You’ll barely see it. That’s the point.
The system improves itself over time, the way a garden improves: slowly, by being tended. Your trust, not the algorithm, is what we’re building.
Each identity gets its own digital shadow, relentlessly working to fulfill your dreams.
The Book of Houses is a values-first network. No politics, no religion. 484 Houses where people who share your core value gather, hang out, have fun and build.
Create the future together.
You’re matched to a House based on your core value, not interests, not demographics. People who actually understand where you’re coming from.
Every House has its own feed and channels. Share ideas, ask questions, and grow with purpose alongside people who actually get it.
Members earn for themselves and their House by making things others use. The tools that concentrate value elsewhere (apps, ideas, gatherings) distribute it here, to the people who built them and the Houses they belong to.
One where what people value shapes where their energy and resources actually flow. Book of Houses is an experiment in building that, and we’re inviting you in.
Every House has its own feed. Share ideas, ask questions, start experiments with people who actually understand where you’re coming from.
We’ve been together 8 years and I love this person more than anything. But lately things feel routine. Same dinner, same couch, same everything. How do you spice things up without it feeling forced?
Book of Houses is built on one idea: when you know your true core value and surround yourself with people who share it, your world accelerates in the right direction. You see massive changes.
Your values aren’t a personality type. They’re the engine that shapes everything you do.
A non-political, non-religious network.
