About this listen

Think Fatherhood Means Sacrificing Sleep, Freedom, and Confidence? Think Again.

Becoming a first-time dad can feel like getting the ball with no playbook. The stakes are high, the clock is ticking, and the pressure is on. Society tells you that your life is over and you’ll never sleep again.

But here’s the truth: Fatherhood doesn’t mean losing your sanity, hobbies, or sense of self. With The First-Time Dad Playbook, you’ll step into the role with confidence and crush it—on day one and beyond.

This isn’t just a book—it’s your coaching guide, packed with winning plays like:

  • Why being “just a dad” is the most powerful role you’ll ever have.
  • The ultimate hack for calming a crying baby in under 60 seconds.
  • How to survive diaper blowouts in public without fumbling the ball.
  • How to get your baby to sleep longer without relying on outdated advice.
  • The 10-second “dad move” that makes tummy time fun instead of frustrating.
  • How to instantly ease your partner’s stress with one overlooked gesture.
  • Why it’s okay to make mistakes—and how to recover quickly.

Short on time? This guide is built for busy dads, with quick, actionable tips you can absorb in five minutes a day.

Not sure you need a book because you’ll “figure it out”? You could—but why struggle when The First-Time Dad Playbook gives you a proven roadmap?

Fatherhood isn’t a spectator sport. Stepping up strengthens your bond with your baby, eases your partner’s stress, and makes you the MVP of your family.

Fatherhood doesn’t come with an instruction manual—until now. Scroll up, click “Add to Cart,” and get ready to crush first-time parenting like a pro!

I got this audiobook for my nephew, hoping it would help him feel more confident as a new dad. He listened to it during his commute and told me he found the tips really practical. The audiobook covers bonding, baby care, and being a supportive partner, and the narrator's straightforward style made it easy for him to take in. He told me he felt more relaxed when handling diaper changes and helping with bedtime. My niece really appreciated it too. Seeing him more involved made them both feel more connected as parents. This is a great resource for first-time dads.

I hit play on this guide feeling a bit overwhelmed by diaper changes and midnight feedings. Within the first chapter, I learned a simple hold technique that calmed my little one and me right away. I tried it during our 3 AM wake up and soaked up the calmer vibe. The narrator’s tone was easygoing, not preachy, so I actually remember the tips. If you’re a new dad looking for realistic advice you can use tonight, this audiobook has your back.

wasn’t sure what to expect, but this listen made things click. It skips the fluff and actually focuses on what new dads deal with day-to-day. Real talk, practical tips, and just the right amount of humor kept him tuned in. No long-winded lectures—just useful stuff that sticks. Great for guys who want to feel a little more ready without feeling talked down to.
