A Father Culture Book List

Why not have a list of books, podcasts and videos about being a good father? Dads work hard. They, like moms, are also learning and growing. Joy’s husband, Eric, prefers to listen to audiobooks and podcasts but he has read a few physical books, too, over the years. Passing on a love of the outdoors, fishing and hunting, has been very important to him, and you will see that reflected here. He also relished conversations about working with one’s hands and being an entrepreneur as he has been a skilled tradesman and co-owns a company with his parents.

Here is a list compiled by myself and Julia Wheelock, of things our husbands have recommended. Thank you Eric and Carter!
