A manual that directly speaks to what it means to be a dad today, driving a movement that explores modern interpretations and diverse perspectives of fatherhood.

Fatherhood will change you. That much is certain. But whilst it can never be under your control, it can be under your influence.   

The old rules of fatherhood are no longer fit for purpose. It used to be simple: you had to protect, provide for, and preside over your family. But the world has changed, seeing today’s dads question the role they play in society, at work, and in their homes, as they feel the once-solid foundation of fatherhood crumble beneath their feet.   

This redefinition of a role previously set in stone for generations has sent dads looking for answers. Thousands have found them in their inboxes, via The New Fatherhood, the #1 fatherhood newsletter on Substack from Kevin Maguire. For five years, he has interviewed some of the world’s best thinkers, studied the output of our most creative minds, and dove deep into the archives of peer-reviewed parenting. 

New Fatherhood transforms those sources into an updated operating system for modern dads: delivered through deeply personal stories, transformative perspectives on success and sense of purpose, compact frameworks, habits that stick, and techniques you can apply in even the most turbulent moments.

Genre:

  • Nonfiction
  • Family & Relationships
  • Parenting
  • Fatherhood

Kevin Maguire is dad-in-chief at The New Fatherhood. He’s appeared on podcasts with Daniel Pink, Oliver Burkeman, Brad Stulberg and Jon Klassen and his writing has been featured in Esquire Magazine and Emily Oster’s ParentData. He works as an executive coach with CEOs, CMOs and VPs of Fortune 500 companies like Amazon, Netflix and Google as they navigate the intersections of career and family. He lives in Barcelona with his wife and two children.
 

  • "This isn’t a self-help guide. It won’t tell you how to change a diaper or when to start saving for college. And isn’t that refreshing? The world is awash in advice, yet what’s been missing from the parenting discourse is a recognition that being a father today is not like it used to be. The New Fatherhood is a manifesto for a new era of parenting—one defined by presence, vulnerability, and reimagined masculinity. Reading it will make you feel seen."
    Simone Stolzoff, author of The Good Enough Job
  • This incredibly perceptive book shows how fatherhood can become a gateway to an entirely new way of living. The New Fatherhood will help men and the people they love rethink success, masculinity, and the stories we inherit. 
    Daniel H. Pink, #1 New York Times bestselling author of DRIVE and THE POWER OF REGRET
