A good read for good dad's.

I found this audiobook very intuitive. it's a peek into the mind of my little girl.

A good primer for fatherhood.

I do a lot of driving and this one started out really difficult to read due to the facts and figures that seem to drone on in the beginning. The book continued to get better but again started out rough and I almost returned it. Much of this I've heard before or knew, but was happy to hear it again. I definitely recommend this to any dad who has a little girl now or will in the future. Dads are a daughter's first love, first idea of what man she should look for later and this will help you understand how important it is now to be the rock, her lighthouse in this life. I will say I'm not sure this book has much going for repeat readability.

Must Read

Extremely insightful and well organized. Raising a daughter without reading this is like going fishing with no pole and no bait on a snowy and moonless night.

Good book

I like this book for a lot information on how to be good father. Hopefully i can implement the suggestion by author. Thank you very much.

phenomenal book, I recommend to all

this was an amazing book, will definitely listen to more books from this author in the near future

Keep it coming!

Great book and stories! My daughter is only 16 months old so I hope this book continues to change with the times... at least until she’s out of college.

Revisit yearly

This book provides great advice / reminders for Fathers. It is stuff that can be forgotten as life is lived and focus is driven elsewhere. For that reason, I plan to revisit this book at least yearly.

Very informative.

Very easy to listen to, and kept my attention. Very informative and opened my eyes to more aspects of being a dad, to a daughter who is now 11.

great book. life changing.

loves it. it open up my eyes and allowed me to get closer to my daughter.
