Life is messy, parenting is wild and mindfulness isn't what you think. That’s why Diary of a Mindful Dad is not your average ‘baby book’: it is an adventure. If you're about to become a parent, or already in the midst of it, you don't want a textbook. Real life gives no time for techniques or formulas. Instead, this book tells it as it is. See what happens when someone who has spent 20 years practising and teaching mindfulness meets the supreme agent of chaos: their own child.

People say 'like father, like son', and the story of my life has mirrored my father's to a quite uncanny degree. Right from when I was a little boy, he was my rock, my mentor, my hero.
