The energy at the Los Angeles Times Festival of Books 2026 was unforgettable, and one title that truly stood out in our book gallery was “Fundamentals of Fatherhood Playbook” by Dr. Vincent Dortch. As visitors browsed our shelves, this book quietly drew in readers who were looking for something meaningful, practical, and deeply relevant. It sparked real conversations, the kind that linger even after you’ve left the booth.
At its core, the Playbook offered a thoughtful guide for fathers who want to be more present and intentional with their teen sons. It walked through how to talk about manhood, relationships, health, and decision-making in a way that felt honest and approachable. What made it resonate was how grounded it felt. It didn’t try to overcomplicate things. Instead, it gave fathers clear strategies and relatable insights they could actually use in everyday life.
During the event, it became clear that this wasn’t just another parenting book on display. It was a starting point for connection, reflection, and growth. Seeing readers pause, flip through its pages, and share it with others was a reminder of why stories and guides like this matter. “Fundamentals of Fatherhood Playbook” found its place among the crowd, not by being loud, but by being real.
