What makes your dad tick?

Have you ever wondered what makes your dad tick? Do you sometimes speculate about his thoughts, feelings, dreams, and experiences? My book, UnderstandingDad, will help you get insight into such areas. It allows you to become a journalist. An impartial interviewer. A historian.

UnderstandingDad is a vehicle designed to help you move closer to your father while creating a legacy for you and your family. This unusual workbook has 130 valuable questions, each on its own lined page, that provide the foundation for your journey into the heart and mind of your father. They aren’t confrontational questions, but are designed to surprise, delight, and inform.

If I decide to interview Dad, will he and I forge a stronger relationship?

Probably. But UnderstandingDad is not intended to resolve or address the deep-seated problems some of us may have with our dads. I’m not a psychotherapist. I didn’t write this to create a forum for figuring out why some fathers are abusive, too often absent, domineering, aloof, or otherwise psychologically unhealthy. Regardless of our fathers’ dispositions or psyches, most adult children want to learn more about them—their likes, dislikes and experiences.

When I interview Dad, will I know most of the answers before I ask?

You may think you know the answers to the questions you’ll ask your father, but most of the time, you may not. However, by learning the answers to the questions posed in UnderstandingDad, new treasures will spill into your knowledge bank. The two of you may end up communicating more often as a result of going through this healthy, interesting process. And you may build a stronger relationship.

Do you know the answers to the following questions about your dad?

What is your father’s favorite color?
Who was your father’s best friend during his school years? Why?
Can you describe his first car and what it meant to him?

If you don’t know the answers to these questions, why not just ask your father? For many reasons, most of us never did (or could) ask such questions. But, now you can do something about it. UnderstandingDad gives you the foundation and organization you need to get more information from your dad.

I wrote UnderstandingDad for you. I designed it to help you capture
significant information from your dad. It worked for me, and it will
for you.

Is your father critically ill?

I was almost too late. Why not use this tough time that surrounds your dad to get to know him better? It made a huge difference in my life. And if your father is dealing with a major illness or condition, consider this quote from Albert Einstein: “In the middle of difficulty lies opportunity.” It is never too late. Until it is.
