The Daily Dad: 366 Meditations on Parenting, Love, and Raising Great Kids

Instead of a parenting book you read one time as a sleep-deprived new parent (and instantly forget among all the other things you’re now supposed to remember), this book provides 366 accessible meditations on fatherhood, a manageable slice for each day.

"I was so desperate for a book of timeless advice for parents to exist that in early 2019, when my first child was barely 3 years old and we were preparing for our second, I started creating it just so I could read it. Now I am excited to share the collected wisdom of history’s greatest thinkers and parents with the world of current and future parents. I hope their insights and guidance helps you as much as it helps me on a daily basis."

Parenting can be hard. We all want to do right by our kids, but it's easy to get lost in the moment. This book is 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
Bestselling author of Expecting Better and The Family Firm
Effective parenting often comes down to poignant, memorable moments that shape your child’s thinking. This book has the recipe for creating these kinds of moments on the regular, and making the most of them.
