This book / audio CD describes what the 7 secrets ( characteristics ) of effective fathers are but is insufficient in explaining how to develop these characteristics. It does give some advice about how to develop them but this advice is superficial except for the section about active listening to their children which is quite good. However, for fathers who have significant relationship difficulties with their children, experiencing major challenges in their marriages, work and / or social relationships and undergoing big emotional and financial problems the advice in the book / CD is far from adequate to overcome these problems. Such fathers would benefit much more from reading and applying good books about effective parenting, developing self - esteem, and human relationship skills rather than this one. This book / CD is good in summarizing what most fathers already know ; the 7 secrets / characteristics of effective fathers are not revolutionary discoveries, anybody can guess them. It is still useful to read the book / listen to the CD to make fathers think about and remind themselves about what effective fathers are. However, the advice in this book about these matters is quite superficial and has little practical applicability. It preaches what is obvious to most of us.
