The Daily Dad

'Make this book a morning ritual.' Matthew McConaughey

'A parenting bible that informs behaviour and guides decision making. I love it. I use it daily.' Jake Humphrey

'A simple way to ground us, to force a reflection on the choices we're making, and the ones we want to make. And it's not just for dads.' Emily Oster, author of Cribsheet

What does it mean to be a great father? And how do you become one? Parenting is a role filled with meaning and purpose, but every dad needs guidance: because fatherhood is not a one-off, it is something you do every day.

Instead of a parenting book you read once as a sleep-deprived new parent, The Daily Dad provides 366 accessible meditations on fatherhood, one for each day of the year. Drawing quotes from history, literature and psychology, bestselling author Ryan Holiday - a father of two himself - has crafted a daily practice that will help dads old and new to find inspiration and advice. Each entry offers a memorable lesson on being the role model your child needs, rooted in timeless principles.

From Socrates to Martin Luther King Jr. , ancient philosophy to contemporary figures, The Daily Dad collates wisdom from around the world to help every dad face the day-to-day challenges in the lifelong job of parenting, and ultimately become the best father they can be.
