BEING A FATHER – Why We Need New Dads More Than Ever

  • An important topic that is not talked about much in society: The role of fathers.
  • This book combines scientific studies, personal experiences and wise observations on the subject of fatherhood.

How we can finally achieve a positive concept of fatherhood.

An appeal to all men who want to become fathers or are fathers: trust yourselves to finally find your place and fulfil your role! The best job in the world awaits you.

A lot has been said about all the things that fathers do wrong: that they don’t do enough for their children, that they are “toxically male”. But what should you do if you want to do things right as a father?

In order to answer this, Tillmann Prüfer consults experts who approach the matter scientifically, and relates events from his own life as a father. For example, we now know that children benefit strongly from having a father figure in their life. We also know that fathers are no less able to provide emotional closeness than mothers. Now it is just a matter of putting this positive message into action.

Tillmann Prüfer, father of four daughters, says that it is time for a positive image of fatherhood. Not only are fathers participating in family life more than ever before; good fathers have also never been needed as much as they are today!
