"Hilarious and sharp...everything (and more) about being a dad." -Ron Howard

Dad, your new life begins in one hour.

I did the homework, so you don't have to do as much. I talked to lots of experts, and lots of dads, and lots of experts who are also dads. I read everything I could. Then I wrote and rewrote this book, filled with steps you can take to become a better dad...

Start with a hug.
Talk to them before they can speak.
Then talk about everything.
Read to your kids. Then flip things around. Let them read to you.
Tell your kids your story.
Help them discover who they are. Deep down inside.
Have your kids' backs. One day, they'll have yours.
Every day, just show up.
