Random House USA Inc The Tired Dad. (3, 2026) | Jon Gustin

100 doses of wisdom for all the tired dads out there. You aren't alone in pursuing what matters most: showing up for your family. "This book isn't about having it all figured out--it's about showing up, even when you're running on fumes. Because in the chaos, there's meaning."--Raashaun Casey, aka DJ Envy, co-host of The Breakfast Club If you're a tired dad, that means that you're a good dad. Parenting is some of the hardest work you'll do. Jon Gustin--writer, content creator, and father of two--has lived this, and he knows one thing with certainty: The effort you put in will outlast you. It becomes legacy. In The Tired Dad , Gustin encourages dads (and, really, all parents) to keep showing up. This isn't a parenting manual; it's a companion for the trenches and a reminder that presence is a discipline and ordinary moments matter more than you think. In one hundred brief reflections, short enough to read with your morning coffee and lasting enough to shape you into the man you want to be, Gustin offers the kind of steady wisdom that tired dads crave: simple truths that hold up under pressure. You're doing a good job, Dad. Keep showing up. It matters.
