An advice book that actually works—and that dads will actually read!

Hey, dad.
(Or soon-to-be dad.)
We get it.
You’re busy. You’re distracted. You’re under pressures people don’t always understand.
But you do love your kids more than anything.
You want them to have really good lives.
You’re doing the best you can. 
But you know what, you can do better.
Yeah, you can.
These pages can help. Even if just two, or three, or five of these ideas work for you, you’ll be a better dad. Maybe a whole lot better.
So turn the page, dad.
You’re in.
You just made a big commitment.
1 hour.
