BACKGROUND: Relating to kids today requires a different mindset. Social media has grown to a pervasive source of news and information sharing, and today’s rising generation is very socially aware and cause-minded. Modern dads understand the role these things play in shaping their children’s attitudes, behaviors and dreams. And as a result, modern dads can authentically meet their children where they are at as an inspiring source of wisdom (vs. perceived as “out of touch” and irrelevant). Modern dads also think bigger, about their own legacy in the lives of their children, those around them and the world.
A Selfish Plan to Change the World: This already top selling book (released 5/23/17) by renowned change agent Justin Dillon (bio below) is an inspiring gift for anyone who wants to live a life that matters; and specifically for fathers who are thinking about their own personal legacy in life and also how to help shape their children’s view of what is possible. Drawing on personal experience, Dillon contests that we are more than “swiping spectators”—that everyone can change the world, right from where they are at. And this book gives a practical “how to”, self-help others guide to changing the world. Read the full book description here. The book, which has been endorsed by the President of Google.org, the co-founder of the ONE Campaign and more was featured on CNN International this week. **Dillon believes fathers and graduates are the absolute sweet spot for his book—this is among the first pitches we’re putting out regarding fathers angle, so this is an opportunity to uniquely cover this angle**
