Episode notes

Exploring the types of books dads tend to like, this chapter emphasizes the importance of reading biography and history books to improve as a dad and set a good example for their kids. They also recommend checking out a new book called 'Lies of the Stilks' that offers insights on fatherhood.

"What kinds of books do dads like? Well, according to the displays at Barnes & Noble and Costco, it’s almost exclusively books about war and history. Have you ever wondered why that is? Why did your dad—who maybe didn’t read that much—still manage to get through one or two 500-page biographies each year?"

Find out why—and what you can learn from this fatherly practice—on today's Daily Dad Podcast.
