Tales from the Worst Job You’ll Ever Love (New subtitle)
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.
As anyone who has spent time with a child knows, fatherhood is a mixed bag of fun, fury, and failure. So much is lost—no more catnaps during football commercials, no more exotic vacations or impromptu day trips. And yet, as authors like P. J. O’Rourke, Jonah Goldberg, Tucker Carlson, and others will say, there is much to be gained.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.
