Reviews"Make this book a morning ritual." - Matthew McConaughey "Parenting can be hard. We all want to do right by our kids, but it's easy to get lost in the moment. This book is a simple way to ground us, to force a reflection on the choices we're making, and the ones we want to make. And it's not just for dads." - Emily Oster, bestselling author of Expecting Better and The Family Firm "Effective parenting often comes down to poignant, memorable moments that shape your child's thinking. This book has the recipe for creating these kinds of moments on the regular, and making the most of them." - Scott Galloway, NYU Stern professor and bestselling author of Adrift
