The book I didn't know I was looking for

Revisado: 02-21-19

I used to love "self-help" books and resources until I realized I wasn't really changing. I realized that the self-help or self-improvement industry keeps growing, while most consumers keep dreaming of change without changing or improving. So I stopped buying anything that promised "unlimited ___," or "improved __," and so forth. But then one day, after talking with my brother-in-law about my business idea focused on dads, he recommended I listen to Larry Hagner's podcast "The Dad Edge." Skeptical at first, I listed to the first episode. However, Larry's unique and rare approach to improvement got me hooked. Most self-help material is made by "professionals," "millionaires," or "hyper-successful" individuals that promise you can be the same, but just leave you feeling worse when you fail to become like them. Larry is personable and human, and I loved that. So when I came across his book, I didn't hesitate a bit to buy it. Sure enough, his approach to being a man and a dad was something I didn't know I was looking for. It was so refreshing hearing from a man and a dad that is truly no different than me. But make no mistake, though Larry doesn't have accolades or fancy titles after his name, he has unique life experiences, wisdom, and knowledge that is weaved together in this book to produce actionable tips with compelling stories that make everything more memorable. He shares his true life story in a way that is so inspiring and moving, that I have already seen change in my way of being a husband and dad, all without a conscious effort to change. I highly recommend this book. The only thing that I think could be improved is the narration. Though the narrator has a pleasant voice, I didn't feel like his tone of voice did justice to the content of the book, so I will definitely get the hard copy version.
