## Resource

In this episode, I’m joined by Darby Saxbe, PhD , the author of the new book Dad Brain , which explores the science and psychology of modern fatherhood. It’s a fascinating book about the ways fatherhood changes men, challenges them, and reshapes identities in ways we don’t always expect. If you’re a dad listening, you need to read this book. And if you’re a mom listening, you need to read this book too. It’s a book that I can’t stop thinking about. 📚 Dad Brain: The New Science of Fatherhood and How It Shapes Men’s Lives More from Tidy Dad: 📚 Order my book: Tidy Up Your Life 🗞️ Subscribe to The Tidy Times : tidydad.substack.com 📸 Follow along on IG: Tidy Dad This is a public episode.
