He was a myth, a force of nature, a man who could fix anything. But the most important thing he ever built was the son who would one day have to make sense of his legacy.

This is not a typical memoir about a perfect father. It's a brutally honest, often hilarious, and deeply moving story about the beautifully imperfect man Sam Goodman called Dad. Part-biography, part-philosophy, and part-toolkit for a life that matters, this book is an unflinching look at the messy reality of memory and the generational chain of wisdom passed from father to son.

Inside this one-of-a-kind book, Goodman distills that legacy into a powerful and practical guide for living. You will discover:

• A Blueprint for Radical Self-Reliance: Learn to trust your own capabilities, dismantle the fear of judgment, and live a life that is unapologetically your own.

• The Power of Unwavering Presence: Understand why simply showing up—for the good, the bad, and the quiet moments in between—is the most valuable currency you have.

• The Code of Action Over Explanation: Adopt a powerful mindset that prioritizes doing the work over talking about it, ensuring your legacy is built on deeds, not just intentions.

• An Enduring Philosophy for the Modern World: Learn how to apply timeless, hard-won lessons to build stronger relationships, a more fulfilling career, and a life of genuine substance.

For anyone tired of the noise and hungry for something real, Lessons from Dad is an essential guide. It’s an unforgettable journey into the heart of what truly matters, and a testament to the fact that the greatest lessons aren’t preached from a podium; they are lived, quietly and imperfectly, every single day.

An unforgettable journey into the heart of what truly matters.
