Father to Son

Life Lessons on Raising a Boy

By: Harry H. Harrison Jr.

Narrated by: Stephen R. Thorne

Warm and fuzzy, anchored in values, and filled with simple words of wisdom, this beloved, best-selling book for parents speaks to the important business of raising sons, and distills their timeless lessons into nuggets of wisdom - some lighthearted, some serious, some practical, and some intangible, and all supported by a strong moral backbone.

Freshly updated, the book begins with the Five Keys of Parenting, a guide to navigating the extraordinary, even if sometimes exasperating, journey of parenthood. It's filled with the importance of nurturing responsibility: Teach him that the world will judge him by his actions, not his intentions. Fun stuff: Have tea with him in the afternoons. Serve cookies. And when he's ready to go: Hug him fiercely.

List of What to do, not Why or principles behind it

This is essentially just a long twitter thread of positive things to do with your son. while many are good and worthwhile, the lack of underlying principles makes this book age poorly over time and doesn't help as new challenges and opportunities come up.
