Fatherhood
"Fatherhood: Philosophy for Everyone is a spectacular book. Dense with essays written on everything from Fatherhood and the meaning of life by Michael Barnwell to Real Fathers Bake Cookies by Dan Collins-Cavanaugh, you will find meaning in these pages beyond the common daddy stereotypes. . . Reading this book will help you make sense of the gravity of fatherhood." (GladDads.com, 28 February 2011)
"One of the best books written for dads who enjoy philosophy." (About.com, January 2011)
"Overall this was a great book. I appreciated not only that it was enjoyable and approachable to read but that it really made me think and question my own thoughts and beliefs about fatherhood." (BookDads, January 2011)
"Each section is so diverse and covers everything from the impact of being a father to dilemmas of being a dad. Each essay is well written and the sections are short, to the point and easy to read and digest. I found that this book started many conversations between myself and other fathers and even opened some conversations between me and my wife...Overall this was a great book. I appreciated not only that it was enjoyable and approachable to read but that it really made me think and question my own thoughts and beliefs about fatherhood." (Dad of Divas Blog, January 2011)
