Look, we're all trying to do better than our parents did.

We're trying to be the parents that we wish we had and to be the parents we know we are capable of being.

That's what I'm trying to do.

And one of my biggest influences in doing that, someone whose books and teachings and then just actual direct parenting advice that she's given me,

I've been lucky enough to get to know her,

as well as the community that she's created that I'm a part of, Good Inside. Dr. Becky is just

someone who has changed my life, changed who I am as a parent, and made me a better human being.

Dr. Becky wrote Good Inside. It's this book I've been raving about. It's really popular with parents these days. She's just amazing. You probably follow her on social media. And if you don't, you should. On December 1st, you can join Dr. Becky for her How Not to Raise Assholes event, which is about avoiding entitlement and raising kind, empathetic kids. And on December 15th, she's hosting her How Not to Lose it over the

holidays event. Daily Dad listeners can join the Q&As for 15% off with code Daily Dad 15.

You just head over to goodinside.com to sign up.

Welcome to the Daily Dad podcast, where we provide one lesson every single day to help you

with your most important job, being a parent.

I'm Ryan Holliday, and I draw these lessons from ancient philosophy, modern psychology,

practical wisdom, and insights from parents just like you all over the world.

Thank you for listening, and we hope this helps.

If you have a few special people on your list that you haven't gotten a gift for yet,

why don't you try giving them an aura frame?

My wife, Samantha, and I have given quite a few aura frames out over the years.

Everyone's excited to get one.

They're super high quality and easy to use.

I don't know about you, but my phone has like a bazillion picks of my family, of trips we've taken.

And, you know, I liked them when I took them.
