The Daily Dad (Hardback)

366 Meditations on Parenting, Love, and Raising Great Kids

Ryan Holiday

A daily devotional full of inspiring quotes and advice for fathers - from the bestselling author of The Daily Stoic

'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.

'Parenting can be an overwhelming wave of decisions according to time, place, and to which kid we're parenting. The Daily Dad Ryan gives us doable daily reminders, approaches, and mindsets for paying attention to what really matters, and being a better parent. Make this book a morning ritual.'

Matthew McConaughey 

'People often complain that their children don't listen to them, but children are always watching. They won't believe what we say if it doesn't match up with what we do. This invaluable book is a parenting bible that informs behaviour and guides decision making. I love it. I use it daily.'

Jake Humphrey, author High Performance
