Dad, How Do I?

Practical ""Dadvice"" for Everyday Tasks and Successful Living

Audiobook (Includes supplementary content)

From the host of the YouTube channel that went viral—Dad, How Do I?—comes a book that's part memoir/part inspiration/part DIY.

Rob Kenney's father left him and his seven siblings when he was fourteen years old, and the youngest had to fend for themselves. He wished that he had someone who could teach him the basics—how to tie a tie, jump-start a car, unclog a drain, use tools properly—as well as succeed in life. But he and his siblings had to figure these things out on their own.

Now a father himself, Rob decided that he would help people out by providing how-to tips as well as advice—and even throw in some bad dad jokes. He started a YouTube channel for anyone looking for fatherly advice, and in the course of three months, gained a following of nearly 2.5 million subscribers, with millions of views for his how-to and inspirational videos.

In this book, Rob shares his story of overcoming a difficult childhood with the strength of faith and family, and offers inspiration and hope. In addition, he provides 50 practical DYI instructions (30 of which will be unique to the book).

Supplemental enhancement PDF accompanies the audiobook.

      One of the feel-good stories to come out of 2020 was a new YouTube channel that went viral for its simplicity and usefulness. The channel Dad, How Do I? was created by Rob Kenney, who realized that many people, himself included, lacked a fatherly influence in their life. Kenney used his quarantine time to record a series of brief instructional videos on topics customarily taught by a father, such as tying a tie or changing a tire. He wasn't seeking fame, but after a viral tweet and media interviews, he has since amassed over three million followers. Following the success of his channel, many have reached out to him to share their own experiences of growing up without a father. Kenney has since shared with viewers his advice on pain, forgiveness, grief, and how to move forward. He saw a need for practical advice and emotional support, which inspired him to write this guidebook that contains both elements. There's advice on home maintenance and personal finances, as well as musings on deeper topics like reconciliation and faith. VERDICT Like the YouTube channel, this is a touching yet informative guide for those seeking fatherly advice, or even a few good dad jokes.--Jennifer Clifton, Indiana State Lib., Indianapolis
