'Make this book a morning ritual.' Matthew McConaughey What does it mean to be
a great father? Parenting is a role filled with meaning and purpose, but every
dad needs guidance: because fatherhood is not a one-off, it is something you
do every day. From Socrates to Martin Luther King Jr., ancient philosophy to
contemporary psychology, The Daily Dad collates wisdom from around the world

If we do what is right, everything else will follow: happiness, success,
meaning, reputation, love. This is central to Stoic wisdom. The path isn't
always easy, but it is essential, and the alternative - taking the easy route
- leads only to cowardice and folly. In the third book in his bestselling
Stoic Virtues series, Ryan Holiday explores the crucial role that integrity
plays in every good life. From pillars of upright living like Ulysses S. Grant
and Marcus Aurelius, to the cautionary tales of Napoleon and F. Scott
Fitzgerald, this book shows us the power of owning our convictions and acting
in accordance with our beliefs - and the perils of an ill-formed conscience.
Our conscience, our sense of justice, is our first and our last strength: we
can train it, hone it and fortify it, but above all, we must never lose it.
This book shows us how.
