A review by captain_readbeard
The Council of Dads: My Daughters, My Illness, and the Men Who Could Be Me by Bruce Feiler

challenging emotional reflective medium-paced

4.0

Enjoyed the concept but wasn't convinced it makes the most sense. He wants people who can speak with his voice but then chooses people who he admires for their qualities. Some of which he shares. As a father it was an emotional premise for a book but I found it marred by the lack of relatability. Everyone he chose was a paragon of wisdom or well renowned on their field. It all became a bit saccharine and felt fictionalised.
