"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.
