"The DILF Handbook replaces silence with language, and isolation with support, so new dads don't have to carry the hardest parts of early parenthood alone. Not because dads need to be rescued. Because they deserve support, too." -FORBES

Beyond the comedic title, The DILF (Dad I'd Like to... Friend) Handbook is a vital resource for the parts of fatherhood no one warns you about. Grounded in research, real stories and proven strategies, it's a sanity-saving guide that shatters the most dangerous myths of fatherhood - from "there's no room for mistakes as a parent" to "you will feel an instant bond with your baby."

Here's the truth: there is an endless amount of advice once you enter the world of parenthood, and most of that advice will center around your children. However, there are a number of other pivotal areas that will significantly impact your experience as a new parent, yet are all too-often ignored. What rarely gets discussed are the parts of your life that quietly shift: your relationships, your sense of self, and the support you need to show up fully for your family.

Consider this book a trusted companion for your parenting journey: offering guidance, reassurance, and tools to help you grow into a patient, present, actively engaged dad anyone would like to... friend.

Whether you're a first-time dad or buying a gift for one, this book provides the tools needed to help dads to not simply survive, but thrive... all so they can better support their partners, their children and themselves.
