This is not a book about becoming a perfect dad.
It is for the dad who sometimes overthinks at night, snaps when he is tired, feels guilty afterwards, or knows he wants to do better but does not always know where to start. It is for the father who is not broken, but overloaded.
Written by Steven Midgley, creator of The Resilient Dad Project, this book brings together simple, real-life tools designed to help dads manage pressure, rebuild calm and keep showing up, even when life feels heavy.
Inside, you will find practical Resilient Dad Hacks that can be used in ordinary moments: after a hard day at work, during a difficult bedtime, when motivation has disappeared, or when your head is full and patience is thin.
You will learn how to:
• Stop one missing piece from taking over the whole picture
• Build a fairer scoreboard for progress
• Shrink the win so you can start again
• Use setbacks without feeling like you are back at zero
• Create simple systems that work when motivation disappears
• Protect your time, energy and peace
• Stay calmer at home without pretending life is easy
• Repair quicker when you get it wrong
• Build a legacy through everyday presence, not perfection
The Resilient Dad is built around small, repeatable actions rather than big unrealistic promises. Each idea is explained through simple analogies, clear tool steps, short examples and tiny moves that can be used straight away.
This book does not lecture fathers. It meets them where they are.
It recognises that many dads are carrying more than they admit: work stress, family pressure, money worries, sleep debt, regret, emotional overload and the quiet fear that they should somehow be doing better.
The message throughout is simple:
You are not broken. You are overloaded. And overloaded can be adjusted.
If you are looking for a practical, down-to-earth book about fatherhood, mindset, resilience and calm, The Resilient Dad offers tools you can return to when life feels noisy.
Not theory. Not perfection. Just small moves that help you become steadier, calmer and more present for yourself and the people who need you most.

Statutory right to withdraw
You have the right to withdraw from this contract within 14 days without giving any reason.

Effects of withdrawal
If you withdraw from this contract, we will reimburse to you all payments received from you, including the costs of delivery (except for the supplementary costs arising if you chose a type of delivery other than the least expensive type of standard delivery offered by us).
We may make a deduction from the reimbursement for loss in value of any goods supplied, if the loss is the result of unnecessary handling by you.
We will make the reimbursement without undue delay, and not later than 14 days after the day on which we are informed about your decision to withdraw from this contract.

The deadline is met if you send back the goods before the period of 14 days has expired. You will have to bear the direct cost of returning the goods. You are only liable for any diminished value of the goods resulting from the handling other than what is necessary to establish the nature, characteristics and functioning of the goods.

The right of withdrawal does not apply to:
- The delivery of newspapers, journals or magazines with the exception of subscription contracts; and
