Built for This: A Guide to Tackling New Dads' Top 16 Concerns About Pregnancy, Childbirth & Becoming a Father by Zach Tobin

“We’re Pregnant!” can either be the most exciting or the most terrifying words in the English language. For many men, they end up being both.

Are you a new or expecting dad whose top priority is being the best father you can be, but you’re not really certain what that looks like?

Do you wonder what will happen during delivery and how you can prepare ahead of time?

Are you asking yourself how you’re going to pay the hospital bills and provide for your growing family?

You may even be concerned that you don’t really “feel” like a father yet and worry you won’t be able to bond with or care for your newborn because you’ve never been “good with babies.”

Perhaps you’re dreading the lack of sex and wondering when you’ll get back to being intimate with your partner.

And, how about the loss of “freedom”, the chaos of having kids in the house, or the seemingly impossible task of balancing the demands of work with being there for your family?

These thoughts are valid, and they’re more common among new dads than you might realize. After all, you’re entering unknown territory, and fatherhood is a major change that will affect your life forever.

Even though you’re probably excited about becoming a dad, you’ll inevitably have doubts and anxieties—all first-time parents do!

No dad is totally prepared when he has his first child, but this book, Built for This, will help you overcome those fears and worries.

Zach is enthusiastic about fatherhood while helping you understand and tackle your fears, answering your hardest questions, and equipping you with the clear thinking, skill, and confidence you need to be an awesome father.

Unlike so many of the other books written for new dads, he skips the condescending ‘bro talk’ and draws on his real-world experience as a father of four to relate man-to-man. Inside, you’ll discover:

— The first thing you’re going to struggle with when your newborn arrives… and how to prepare for it
— How to slash your medical costs by 50% or more… and maybe even make money from your health insurance
— What it costs to raise a kid from birth through high school
— How to support your partner during labor — help her alleviate the pain of giving birth
— How to prepare in advance for delivery day… even if you know you can’t be present
— Why caring for a baby takes more than instinct… and how you can do it well
— Ways to stay connected and intimate with your partner before and after the baby arrives
— The science behind how dads bond with their newborns
— How to balance work and fatherhood so you can be there for your kid while still providing for your family
— Why babies don’t fix struggling relationships… and tips for what does (hint: this will make you a better father too)
— …And much more.

You may feel like you’re out of your depth now, but by following Zach’s advice, you’re taking a step in the right direction.

By the time your baby arrives, you’ll have the knowledge and skill that you need to embrace the most important role of your life with joy and confidence. Being a good dad is a choice… it’s not dictated by your income, IQ, or upbringing.

Feels Like Loveby Weston Parker

I’m trying to sell my goods, but ain’t nobody buying.

It’s a gym innovation that’s going to make me a billionaire.

And my buddy said to hire a consultant to help out.

So I did. And this girl is every hot dream I’ve had since I was a boy.

Here’s the rub—she’s bossy as hell.

I want to work harder, but she wants me to work smarter. Plus, she’s got all sorts of rules I need to play by.

I’m the poster child for rule-breakers. This is NOT going well.

In the middle of the drama, wedding season hits and all my friends are tying the knot. Suckers.

Unfortunately, I need a date for the festivities.

She suggests herself so she can keep cracking the whip.

It’s hard to tell her no when all I want to do is say yes—to any and all things with this woman.

Then people start mistaking her for my fiancée, and I’m stuck.

She agrees to play along IF I follow her rules. Whatever. As long as she keeps dressing up, I’m down to try.

So we’re faking it, until I’m not.

Maybe it’s her smile or her curves or her bossiness. Hell, maybe all these weddings are getting to me.

Either way, I’m not pretending with her anymore.

This thing feels like love—namely because it is.

Every good girl deserves a bad boy. ~ Weston
