“Life is short. Do not forget about the most important things in our life, living for other people and doing good for them.”—Marcus Aurelius
Becoming a parent is more than just a biological process—it’s a lifelong commitment to sacrifice, service, and most importantly, love. It’s a challenge to get up every day and put your kids first. You will experience moments of heroic compassion and humiliating failure, sometimes within the same day.
But you don’t have to do it alone. From Ryan Holiday, #1 New York Times bestselling author of the smash hit The Daily Stoic, The Daily Dad provides 366 timeless meditations on parenting in a few manageable paragraphs a day—useful for even the most sleep deprived new parent.
Drawing on his own experience as a father of two as well as lessons from the lives of legends such as Theodore Roosevelt, Bruce Springsteen, Queen Elizabeth II, Marcus Aurelius, and Toni Morrison, this daily devotional provides wisdom and guidance on being the role model your child needs. Whether you’re expecting your first or already a grandparent, The Daily Dad offers encouragement, perspective, and practical advice for every stage of your child’s life.

How to become a better dad every day
What a consistent way to put the most important things first. Waking up to reading a small passage about how to be a more present, resilient, kind, caring and great dad, I canât think of a better way to spend a year reading a book as a father. I will recommend this to all friends and family who become parents for the first time or are looking to become a better parent.

My âgo toâ guide when Iâm overwhelmed. When it seems stressful I take a moment and open a page and read it to myself aloud and I almost always find something that reminds me thereâs more to this than the moment I am in, and the stress shall pass but also, itâs my stress. Not everyone elseâs. A true gift for all dads wether itâs your first child, fifth or youâre on grandkids. This is a mans guide to awareness
