Becoming a dad is easy - take two invested souls, join them, and-poof!-a child is born. But becoming a good dad-that's a different matter altogether. When the child is born, the doctor doesn't say, "Congratulations, and here is the manual to raise this child successfully." No, we are sent into the world with a newborn and expected to become a responsible parent. And ... what is a responsible parent? That's an age-old question that humanity has tried to answer from the beginning of time. It takes a community of voices sending wisdom across the ages to help parents to navigate the challenges of child-rearing. The Good Dad's Playbook is part of the wisdom for the ages. The Good Dad's Playbook presents 12 insights for effective parenting. It challenges fathers to guide the lives of their children just as a master builder constructs an edifice that transcends generations.

It rather challenges the traditional aspects of fatherhood, in which a man is seen as a provider and protector, exempting him from all other aspects of child-rearing. Wesley Brandon places the father as the cornerstone of the family, the foundation upon which everything else can be successfully built. As the foundation, the father has the ultimate responsibility to develop his children into successful, responsible citizens who are committed to providing the most value and service to society.
