Publisher's summary

Life can be overwhelming. Here is the fatherly guidance you need to pull through your toughest times.

On January 26, 2017, entrepreneur, husband, and father Chip Franks had a stroke. While being carried out on a stretcher, the question on his mind was: “Did I let my kids know everything I should have?”

This led Franks on a quest to curate and compile the very best life lessons from the wisdom of the ages for his children as a complete guidebook for life as an adult.

The result is Life Lessons from Dad: 101 Ways to Get More from Life (From Someone Who Loves You). It contains wisdom spanning from the ancient Stoics, Henry David Thoreau, and Joseph Campbell to Tony Robbins, Tim Ferriss, and Jim Rohn. Through lessons on matters of the heart, mind, body, and soul, you'll reveal untapped energy, self-love, and a passion for life to make any dream possible.

This step-by-step guide to a life well-lived teaches:

  • How to become great by finding a way to serve the many (Lesson 10)
  • How to plan and actually live a purposeful life (Lesson 81)
  • The biggest regret of the dying and how to avoid it (Lesson 60)
  • How to really set goals even when you're swamped (Lesson 30)
  • How to design and execute your very own ideal week (Lesson 40)
  • Several strategies to kill crippling habits holding you back (Lesson 43)
  • Creating the perfect morning and nighttime bookend rituals (Lesson 65)
  • The foolproof plan on getting any job you want (Lesson 51)
  • Using the oxygen mask principle to make yourself happy first (Lesson 91)
  • How to kick your inner critic in the teeth (Lesson seven)
  • How to make sure money isn't a bully in your life (Lesson 39)
  • How to find and start your very own hero's journey (Lesson 97)

This is your handbook to conquer any life challenge thrown your way. If you like actionable steps you can take today, irreverent humor, and heartfelt profundity, then you'll love Chip Franks' life-changing guide.

Charming life lessions

This book is a sweet love letter from Chip Franks to his 3 children. The lessons that he wants them to internalize are applicable to all of us! The lessons range from simple (drink more water) to profound (lean into pain and learn from it). Each lesson comes in bight-size pieces so it is very easy to read this book and then refer back to specific sections when you want a reminder (I listened on Audible and then bought the paperback to flip back into it from time to time). Everyone should have this much love poured into them!

Fatherly love meets best-in-class personal development strategies

The way the author demonstrates love for his children gives me, as a father, a model to aspire to love my children as deeply. More than that, this books contains the best collection of personal development strategies I’ve ever seen organized in a single book.

Great Detailed Book

Loved the book and this guy did not leave anything out and gave tons of other great books to read. I believe he is genuine and honest person that lives a fulfilled life. If you take 10-20 of these life lessons it will change your life. It did for me. Thanks

Not impressed

This author spent more time talking about what he planned to talk about than actually talking about what he wanted to. Made it half-way before I shut it down. Thoroughly unimpressed. The narrator was clearly spoken and brought substance the content lacked on its own.
