The Dadly Virtues: Adventures from the Worst Job You’ll Ever Love

From the all-star cast who brought you The Seven Deadly Virtues comes a book with a look at the good life… or the crazy-stressful-overwhelmed life… of a father.

The Dadly Virtues is a tongue-in-cheek collection of encouragement and guidance for any stage of fatherhood, from pacifying babies to prepping for senior prom, from cutting the cord to getting the first, Best Grandpa t-shirt. P.J. O'Rourke sets the stage with the chapter, What Do Men Get from Fatherhood? Besides What They Put In … and then is followed by:

-Matthew Continetti’s, Newborn Terror: The Moment You Realize that ‘Bundle of Joy’ Is a Euphemism for Something Very Different.

-Stephen F. Hayes’ Siblings: The Best Gift You’ll Ever Give Your Kids.

-Jonah Goldberg’s Get Your Kid a Dog: The Moral Case for Pets.

-Tucker Carlson’s In Praise of Adventure: How to Fill a Child’s Life with Excitement and Danger (without Getting Them Killed).

-Michael Graham’s, Dating: Enjoy the Movie and Please Keep the Impregnation to a Minimum.

-Christopher Caldwell’s College: It’s Not as Bad as You Think; It’s Worse.

-Andrew Ferguson’s Emerging Adults and Empty Nesters: Just When You Had Fatherhood All Figured Out.

-Toby Young’s The Dark Side: Bad Parenting and the Things We Think, but Do Not Say.

-Joseph Epstein’s Thanks, Grandpa: Grandfatherhood and the Spirit of the Age.

-And more.

Father-to-be, two-time-dad, or granddad, each essay will make you laugh and, at the same time, reinforce your commitment to the virtuous–the dadly–life.
