One Question Deeper: Fathers & Sons

For everything you have never quite said.

Two men. One lifetime.

280 questions and 560 follow-ups for fathers and sons at every age. The twelve-year-old and the forty-year-old. The father who is still the father, and the father who is now the one being looked after.

Eight sections move through a whole relationship: Just Us, The Boys We Were, What We Learned About Being Men, What Passed Between Us, Approval Expectations & Pride, What We Never Said, The Men We Are Now, and What I Want You to Know.

Questions carry depth markers, so you can start where you can stand to start. Easy, real, deep. Some are FINISH THE SENTENCE prompts, where both of you complete the same line out loud before the other does. The thing I am most proud of in you is...

What did our family teach you about money without ever sitting down to teach it? When have you needed me and not known how to ask? What do you want said about you when you are no longer here?

Every question carries two follow-ups, because the second question is where people start to feel seen. Each also carries a cue for the listener: what to watch for while the other man answers, which in this relationship is often more useful than anything you could say.

Both men answer. Either man may pass, anytime, with no reason owed. Delivered as EPUB. No DRM.
