Perfect for you if...

  • You're a parent who wants daily reminders that you're doing better than you think, drawn from figures like Roosevelt and Marcus Aurelius.
  • You appreciate Ryan Holiday's Stoic approach and want bite-sized wisdom you can actually read between nappy changes.
  • You're looking for perspective on the long game of parenting rather than quick fixes or judgmental advice.

Maybe not for you if...

  • You want parenting tactics and step-by-step solutions to specific problems like sleep training or tantrums.
  • You're sceptical of philosophy or Stoicism and prefer purely modern, psychology-based parenting advice.
  • You don't have time for daily reading habits and need something you can reference only when crisis hits.

About this book

Becoming a parent is a lifelong commitment to sacrifice, service, and love. It involves daily challenges to prioritize your children, with moments of both profound compassion and difficult failure. The Daily Dad offers 366 meditations on parenting, presented in brief daily passages suitable for busy parents. Drawing on Ryan Holiday's experience as a father of two, the book incorporates lessons from figures including Theodore Roosevelt, Bruce Springsteen, Queen Elizabeth II, Marcus Aurelius, and Toni Morrison. The meditations provide wisdom and guidance on being a role model for your child across every stage of their development, from expectancy through grandparenthood. The book aims to offer encouragement, perspective, and practical advice for parents at any point in their parenting journey.
