| book description |

Written with self-excoriating candour and the driest humour, comes a book about being a dad from one of our best loved journalists. â€œFor me the hardest task of fatherhood was always the oppressive obligation to lead by example. My sons have been present on countless occasions when I have, as we say in my homeland, completely lost my shit. During these stressful moments I have often wished to turn to them as a judge might to a jury and say, â€œPlease strike the next few minutes from the recordâ€, but many of those instances are chronicled in these pages. Itâ€™s not because Iâ€™m any less ashamed now; itâ€™s because if I left them out there wouldnâ€™t be enough for a book. Perhaps this is my lifeâ€™s true purpose: maybe Iâ€™m here to teach my sons that self-esteem comes and goes â€“ it can get rolled right out of you at short notice â€“ but that you still can get by in life without any, as long as you donâ€™t want to be a contestant on The Apprentice. That, at least, is my experience. And for what itâ€™s worth, my example.â€
