"A thoughtfully curated daily devotional full of inspiring quotes and advice, from the bestselling author of THE DAILY STOIC-for any dad as they navigate the most important journey of their life What does it mean to be a great father? And then, how do you become one? Parenting is a role filled with incredible meaning and purpose, one that men have a responsibility to take seriously. But every father needs guidance. Men need someone to inspire and challenge them to go the distance, because being a parent is something you do every day. 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), THE DAILY DAD provides 366 accessible meditations on fatherhood, a manageable slice for each day. From bestselling author Ryan Holiday, a father of two himself, this daily devotional will help dads old and new to find inspiration and advice on a day-to-day basis in the lifelong job of being a dad. Drawing quotes from history, pop culture, literature, and psychological research, each entry will provide a memorable lesson on being the role model your child needs, rooted in timeless principles. From Socrates to Martin Luther King Jr., Jerry Seinfeld to Jesus, THE DAILY DAD will draw on wisdom from mothers and fathers, heroes and celebrities, ancient philosophy and contemporary figures, in order to help each dad face the daily challenges of parenting, and ultimately become the best father they can be"--… (más)
This is a beautiful book of daily meditations for dads. However, it is also for moms and for grandparents. Parenting is universal. The meditations in this book are a way of refocusing on family priorities at the end of each day. They help the reader look ahead to try to make the best of each day by remembering what to do with our kids to make it really be so.
Be prepared for some tears while reading these meditations because some will for sure tug at your heartstrings. The advice given is from many sources, but the message of each of them is of fundamental goodness. As I was reading each of the meditations, I reflected on how each affected me and, in turn, how my actions have affected my children and grandchildren.
I highly recommend this book which can be read either daily or (as I did as my book was a library copy) in a continuous stream as quickly or as slowly as desired. ( )

And here's the thing: death can't stop you from doing those things either, because if you do them now— if you give your kids, what they need, cheerfully, regularly, sincerely— it will stick with them as a voice in their heads for as long as they're and their own children live.
No, being a great parent begins long before that and ends, well, never. For even after we leave this life, our children will carry with them, good and bad, the lessons we taught them by word and deed.
It's helpful to sit back and really think about what parental success looks like…That is, having kids whom you get to see, whom you have a good relationship with…for the rest of your days.
Do we actively prioritize the thing that truly matters most? Those moments when blood is on blood, when family is together?
At some point you will look back at this moment in your kids lives with the misty wistfulness of nostalgia. It doesn't matter what the future holds for them, or which path they take; you will look back at this time with a sense of longing.
There is no better way to learn than from a role model. There is no better way to judge our progress than in constant company with the person we would most like to be one day.
Anger is an exaggerator. It magnifies the worst in every situation. Anger is an exacerbator too. It takes a bad situation, and makes it worse with the overreaction it produces in us.
It is easy in the midst of victory, and success to think of how wonderful this is for you. It's also easy to forget whom you defeated, and what your victory has cost them. It's not unlikely that they've lost more than you've gained.
You can't hold your children back. You can't resent that they're different. You can't hold them back with antiquated notions about gender or class. Their choices say nothing about your choices. They are their own people. They deserve their own lives. They deserve your support and encouragement and whatever direction that takes you or them.
