Dude, Where’s My Life?

A Battle-Tested Guide to The First Five Years of Fatherhood

By: Cai Everdeen

Narrated by: Virtual Voice

Becoming a dad for the first time is exciting, terrifying, and a little bit like being thrown into the deep end without a life jacket. Most parenting books talk about the baby — but this one is for you, the father. The one who's trying to keep his head above water while changing diapers, juggling work, and wondering if he’ll ever sleep — or finish a hot cup of coffee — again.

“Dude, Where’s My Life?” is a battle-tested guide to the first five years of fatherhood, written by a dad who’s lived it (and survived it). With simple words, honest stories, and a touch of humor, this book walks through each year of early parenthood — starting before your baby arrives and ending at the doorstep of childhood. It doesn’t promise perfection. It offers survival, reflection, and the reminder that you’re not alone.

Whether you're holding a newborn or chasing a wild toddler, this book is here to say: you're doing better than you think. You don't have to be a superdad. You just have to show up, learn as you go, and love hard—even on the messy days. Let’s take it one year at a time — together.
