Letters to Our Sons

From the Emmy, Critics Choice and Golden Globe winning co-creator and star of Netflix’s acclaimed Adolescence comes an era-defining book on fathers, sons, and the meaning of manhood.

What do you wish you could tell your son before he faced his first real failure? Before his heart got broken? Or before he had to stand on his own two feet? How would you teach him to show strength, courage, and ambition without being aggressive or dominant? How would you guide him into a happy, loving, and successful adulthood? 

Embracing emotional expression, vulnerability, and connection, Letters to Our Sons is a collection of honest and powerful letters written by fathers to their sons about the messy realities of modern fatherhood and what is means to be a man. 

Featuring letters from Olympian Tom Daley, actors Javier Bardem and Riz Ahmed, and documentarian Louis Theroux, as well as other fathers from all walks of life, this raw collection of advice, anecdotes, regrets, and joys, offers a powerful and inspiring look at father-son relationships and the true value of healthy masculinity.
