Episode notes

This chapter emphasizes the significance of children's books in not just teaching reading skills but also imparting valuable life lessons to both kids and parents. It explores the essence of quality children's literature and introduces a new book, 'The Boy Who Would Be King', which aims to teach timeless lessons through an engaging story about Marcus Aurelius.

“You’ve read plenty of bad books as a parent. The ham-handed kids books. The nonsensical ones. The vanity projects. The patronizing ones. Why are you reading to your kids? To teach them to read, of course. To spend time together, of course. But also to teach them about life.”

Ryan explains the purpose that stories should serve in your children’s life, and launches his new book The Boy Who Would Be King, on today’s Daily Dad Podcast.

Pre-order The Boy Who Would Be King, our newest release at Daily Stoic, written by Ryan Holiday in the depths of the pandemic (not unlike the one Marcus ruled through), this new beautifully crafted book is available for preorder now. As a special bonus, if you order this book before March 9th, 2021, you’ll get a FREE audiobook version as well. Go to dailystoic.com/king to pre-order now and you’ll automatically get the free book.
