  • If You Want Your Kids To Respect You

    “Every parent wants to be respected. They want to be listened to. They want their advice to be taken seriously. They want to be looked up to. And how do far too many of us try to get these things from our kids? By endless words. By force. By fear. By simply assuming it’s ours by right.”

    Ryan explains how you can truly earn the admiration of your children, on today’s Daily Dad podcast.

    Ryan Holiday's book Lives of the Stoics is on sale as an E-Book for just $1.99! The pages of this book start with Zeno, the founder of Stoicism, and end with Marcus Aurelius, the great philosopher king. In between, you’ll learn the stories of Cicero and Seneca, Cleanthes and Chrysippus, Rusticus and Epictetus, Cato and his daughter Porcia.  Grab your copy of Lives for just $1.99 now!

  • They Don’t Know Your Battles

    “The story of Major Taylor is an inspiring one...and a tragic one. Major Taylor was the greatest cyclist of his generation, perhaps one of the great athletes to ever live. The only problem was that he was born in 1878 and he was born black in America.”

    Ryan illustrates why you should always be open with your children by telling the story of Major Taylor, on today’s Daily Dad podcast.

  • Teach Them To Think and Evaluate

    “Plutarch tells us the story of a Spartan leader: "As he reclined after his meal the Eiren would tell one boy to sing, while to another he would pose a question which called for a considered reply, like "Who among the men is best?' or 'What is your opinion of so-and -so's action?' Thereby boys grew accustomed to judging excellence and to making a critical appraisal of the citizens right from the start.”

    Ryan discusses how you should mold your kids minds to question and review, on today’s Daily Dad podcast.

  • They Get It Better Than You

  • It’s Usually Not an Accident

    “Florence Nightingale was an incredible woman. She revolutionized nursing. She saved thousands and thousands of lives. This came as a surprise in Victorian England because women weren’t supposed to do career-type things, let alone something as hands on as work in a hospital. Her spirit and her determination came as a surprise to her parents too, as we’ve talked about, who thought their wealth and status, should have bestowed on their daughter a quiet dignity and taste for the finer things.”

    Ryan explains why you should be careful with who you expose your kids to, on today’s Daily Dad podcast.

  • It’s a Family Affair

    “Taylor Branch’s incredible series on Martin Luther King Jr and the Civil Rights Movement spans three volumes. It’s almost 3000 pages with hundreds of footnotes. It won awards like the Pulitzer Prize for Nonfiction and the National Book Critics Circle Award. More importantly, it’s really, really good—a must-read for anyone trying to understand social change or American history.”

    Ryan describes how your kids are a part of the journey that you are on, on today’s Daily Dad podcast.

  • Be Careful of Your Implications

    “In an early episode of The Crown, Princess Margaret and her sister Queen Elizabeth wax nostalgic about their loving, late father, who used to refer to his daughters as his “pride and joy.” It was a beautiful memory, but also a painful one.”

    Ryan explains how the things that you aren’t aware of may be impacting your children the most, on today’s Daily Dad podcast.

  • Do You Do This Over Dinner?
