In "Rules for My Unborn Son," Walker Lamond shares as much wisdom as one man can -- while in "The Council of Dads," Bruce Feiler attempts to gather several men who will share their wisdom with his twin daughters in the event of his demise (good news: Feiler is now cancer free and about to celebrate Father's Day with his wife and girls). Both books are fantastic gift choices for the dad in your life!

Wisest things my dad shared
That "Sitting on the Dock of the Bay" by Otis Redding was a great song... That being a good person is worth more than all the money in the world... That you should always use an an anchor when hanging a picture and ... That when you're supported and loved, you can do anything your heart desires.
Best thing my dad ever shared?
It's a toss up between "don't let boys look up your skirt" and "you should have listened to me the first time." :)
Wisest Thing My Dad Shared With Me
To not fear knowledge. I was free to read, to explore, to think for myself. I was not bound by his own background or opinions. I was free to become my own person without expectation of becoming a clone of my dad.
