Description

About the Author Rob Kenney is married with two adult children (and they still talk). He lives in Seattle, Washington. --This text refers to the audioCD edition. Review “Like the YouTube channel, this is a touching yet informative guide for those seeking fatherly advice, or even a few good dad jokes.” -- Library Journal --This text refers to the hardcover edition.

Features & Highlights

  • 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), illustrated with helpful line drawings.

A good but difficult read

I still haven't finished this book yet (I'm half way through) but it's been a tough read for me now that I've hit a spot about Rob's father. My dad died when I was 14, so Rob's experience is slightly similar to mine which has... caused me a bit of pain. I'm still enjoying the book though! It's just that one part that's brought up some old memories.

Has great life advice. Fun, heartwarming.

As he does in his youtube videos, Rob Kenney provides profound life advice from a genuine place of caring and humility - with good humor! I’m a senior citizen, who is very grateful for the life I have. By his example, Mr. Kenney’s book describes how one can live a meaningful life with honor, service, and gratitude. The second half has practical advice, including a recipe for making Christmas cookies (!). This will be a great gift for a person who is starting out. I will be giving my copy to my young adult son.

Nice book for those with similar questions

I picked this book up on sale. I heard about the YouTube series and was interested in hearing what Rob had to say as I have a similar situation. It's interesting how close my thoughts are to his and it probably means that most people in a similar situation can understand. I'm not religious so there were parts of this book that didn't mean as much, but overall it was a good book. I didnt get as much out of the second part where he explains how to do some common tasks but I look forward to watching more of this series on YouTube.
