Fun collection of good tips!

This was a fun and quick book that helps you put life into perspective, especially for trying to think through the years ahead.

All great advice.

Things you know, but need to hear! Take some notes and put them into practice. Well done.

Maybe good for NEW, 1st time dads

Otherwise, privately a waste of time for most seasoned dads i know who’ve already made it out of the toddler years.

This could’ve been a Podcast / Not Worthy

Expensive for its content. This could’ve been either a blog post or a Podcast. Not worthy for the price.

poor content from good Author

Not worth using 15 words to review. Some fans might find it better. The book was as interesting as this review
