Summary

The Dad Advice Project grew out of Craig Kessler's simple request for letters of advice from his fellow father friends to fill in the gaps his own father left behind. Over the last two and a half years, the project grew to feature fathers from all walks of life: CIA directors, professional golfers, and next-door neighbors, each willing to share what they've learned — and what they still need to work on. Craig shares his favorite lessons with Zibby and why dads usually need more advice than they're offered.
