Synopsis

A modern guide to staying calm, present, and grounded through every stage of fatherhood.

Fatherhood is one of life’s greatest gifts, yet for many men, it arrives with chaos, exhaustion, and a quiet sense that you’re supposed to “just figure it out.” Sleepless nights, pressure to provide, shifting identities, and the mental load of parenting can leave even the most capable dads feeling overwhelmed, disconnected, or mentally unprepared.

Stoic Dad is the antidote: a practical, relatable, and deeply reassuring guide that helps fathers build the mindset, resilience, and emotional clarity needed to thrive, not just survive, in their role.
Rooted in the timeless wisdom of Marcus Aurelius, Epictetus, and Seneca, and combined with modern psychology, behavioural science, and real stories from real fathers, this book gives dads the tools to:

• Stay grounded when everything feels chaotic
• Focus on what you can control (spoiler: not your toddler’s tantrum)
• Be more present for the moments that matter
• Build resilience and patience, even on two hours of sleep
• Strengthen your relationship through empathy, communication, and shared responsibility
• Model powerful values: courage, humility, gratitude, and integrity, for your children
• Approach parenting with perspective and gratitude, even in the hard seasons

This isn’t a dry philosophy book or a preachy parenting manual. It’s a refreshingly honest, often funny, and always practical companion for modern dads who want to show up with calm, purpose, and emotional strength.

Whether you’re:
✔️ a dad-to-be trying to wrap your head around pregnancy and birth
✔️ a new father drowning in nappies and sleep deprivation
✔️ navigating the wild toddler years
✔️ guiding older children and teens
✔️ or balancing fatherhood with work, life, identity, and your relationship

Stoic Dad gives you the mindset, tools, and perspective to meet each challenge with clarity and confidence.
Because being a great father isn’t about being perfect. It’s about being present, steady, and willing to grow. This book will help you do exactly that.
