Fair Play meets Crib Sheet in this modern manual that directly speaks to what it means to be a dad today, driving a movement that explores modern interpretations and diverse perspectives of fatherhood.

The old rules of fatherhood have limited the ability of fathers to meet the full potential of their role in their children’s lives and in their households. In The New Fatherhood, Kevin Maguire challenges fathers and parents to consider that the transformative effects of fatherhood might be measured in more than just love. He asks readers to consider that a newfound empathy could allow new highs in their careers or provide a fresh perspective to forever alter what success means as they head into the second half of their lives.

Echoing the style and tone that already resonates with the thousands of dads who read Kevin Maguire’s #1 fatherhood newsletter, The New Fatherhood, the book mixes personal stories, deep dives into the latest research, interviews with fathers—famous and not—and actionable frameworks, weaving them together in an arc that will take dads from where they are today to where they one day could be.
