Imagine: Toward a Brotherhood of Man by William Mile (Summary)

Special thanks for William Mile for reaching out and sending me the book.

This is a quick read where William offers a solution to the problem and it looks like he’s using Pareto’s Principle of 80:20. Only he’s made it 8:2. I do agree with him when he quotes someone with ‘The working state is the highest state’. I believe working especially with your hands fixes and heals a lot (more here).

The 8:2 Theory
Out of 10 humans, 8 are good, 2 are not. In William’s email to me, he mentions clarifying the 8 in a blog post. So lets say the 8 are living being, seen or unseen… if that makes sense. The 8 are further divided into 4 categories. The 2 on the other hand are the problem, God loves them but they’re very hard to reach. The 2’s have the power or skill to make the 8s feel divided. If enough 8s grasp this book then the 2s COULD be stopped.

Some actionables:
Avoid mind-altering substances.
Develop your mind and body continuously.
Choose a career or craft and commit to self‑reliance.
Share what you learn with others.
Respect how people choose to practice spirituality or belief.
Improve all dimensions of yourself: mental, physical, emotional.
Study widely (religion, business, science, medicine, psychology).
Anchor yourself in purpose, meaning, and community.
Work hard … treat work as part of being human.
Think for yourself; don’t follow blindly.
Progress step by step; don’t rush.
Protect yourself from consistently harmful people.

My personal thought on the book:
I like where William is coming from. Even though I didn’t find any concepts that were new or scientifically supported, I genuinely appreciate the intention behind William’s work. His heart is clearly in the right place, and the direction he’s trying to move people toward is admirable. I hope the ideas continue to evolve into something more concrete, evidence‑based and actionable emerges from this project. I’ll keep tabs on how he develops these ideas into something more tangible in the future and I’ll update this post if and when that happens.
