Reviews
"Candid and moving. The Council of Dads exemplifies the mysterious process by which bad news can alter our perspective and reorder our priorities, and it celebrates the ever-expanding level of emotional intimacy that men are increasingly free to engage." -- Washington Post "Thoughtful....From other men close to him, Feiler gleaned the qualities of curiosity and the urge to travel and learn, of taking care of things and people that matter, of remembering those who matter and casting them in a positive light." -- St. Louis Post-Dispatch "Reading The Council of Dads made me wonder at the great opportunity we miss....I'd like my daughters to have a Council of Dads, a Council of Moms...to remind us which values we value most, and help us make sure we transmit them." -- Time magazine "It's hard not to get swept along and cheer Feiler on as he fights for his life and his daughters." -- Publishers Weekly (starred review) "Feiler tackles personal hardship with inquisitive and heartfelt eloquence." -- Kirkus Reviews "A book that will touch many." -- Booklist "Moving." -- Daily News "Wonderful." -- Savannah Morning News "Feiler's council brings us all closer." -- Sun Herald (Sydney, Australia) "A thoughtful, candid story of how the humdrum of everyday life can suddenly give way to upheaval, and of coming face to face with mortality....A triumph." -- The Age (Melbourne, Australia)

Synopsis
Facing his own mortality, bestselling author Bruce Feiler decided to ask six men -- a COUNCIL OF DADS -- to play various roles in his daughters's lives, representing the different aspects of their father that they knew best. Here is the moving story of Feiler's illness and recovery -- and the men who promised to be him.When bestselling author Bruce Feiler was diagnosed with a malignant tumor in his leg, he could only imagine all the walks he might not take with his daughters, the ballet recitals he would miss, the art projects left undone, and the aisles he might not walk down. Though his daughters would have plenty of resources in their lives, they wouldn't have their Dad. He decided to write to six men who had been with him throughout his life- men who could become his voice and his daughters' Council of Dads. "Will you listen in on them?" he wrote. "Will you take them out to lunch every now and then? Will you go to a soccer game if you're in town? When they get older, will you indulge them in a new pair of shoes? As time passes, will you invite them to a family gathering on occasion. Will you introduce them to somebody who might help one of their dreams come true?" THE COUNCIL OF DADS is the intimate story of Feiler's illness but it is also about the people who touched and shaped his life, and what it means to be truly known. But this is not just a document of one life that has been to the edge -- rather it is a blueprint for how others can take Feiler's experience and deepen their relationships with their own friends and leave behind a treasured legacy for their children., Now a major NBC primetime drama The uplifting story that touched the world and inspired families everywhere to rethink what matters most in their lives As a young dad, Bruce Feiler, New York Times bestselling author and television host, received shattering news. A rare form of cancer was threatening not only his life but his family's future as well. A singular question emerged: Who would be there for his wife and daughters if he were gone? Feiler reached out to six extraordinary men who helped shape him and asked them to be present in the lives of his daughters. The Council of Dads is the unforgettable portrait of these men, who offer wisdom, humor, and guidance on how to live, how to love, how to question, how to dream. The source for NBC's blockbuster series, here is a singular story that offers lessons for us all--helping us draw closer to the ones we love, appreciate what's most precious, and celebrate the power of community.
