When journalist Josh Levs was denied fair parental leave by his employer after his child was born, he fought back—and won. Since then, he’s become an advocate for modern families and working fathers. In All In, he explores the changing face of fatherhood and what it means for our individual lives, families, workplaces, and society. Fatherhood today is far different from previous generations. Stay-at-home dads are increasingly common, and growing numbers of men are working part-time or flextime schedules to spend more time with their children. Even the traditional breadwinner-dad is being transformed. Dads today are more emotionally and physically involved on the home front. They are “all in” and—like mothers—they are struggling with work-life balance and doing it all. Journalist and “dad columnist” Josh Levs explains that despite these unprecedented changes, our laws, corporate policies, and gender-based expectations in the workplace remain rigid. They are preventing both women and men from living out the equality we believe in—and hurting businesses in the process. Women have done a great job of speaking out about this, Levs—whose fight for parental leave made front page news across the country—argues. It’s now time for men to join in. Combining Levs’ personal experiences with investigative reporting and frank conversations with fathers about everything from work life to money to sex, All In busts popular myths, lays out facts, uncovers the forces holding all of us back, and shows how we can all join together to change them.

Divorce or the death of a dream can sometimes be as devastating as the death of a loved one. This book wasn't written to encourage or discourage divorce but to help people who are going through it to realize that it's ok if this is how you feel. Divorce is complicated. Some may rejoice while others feel like they just lost their best friend. There is no "one size fits all," and it's ok to grieve. My parents got divorced when I was twenty years old and it has been the single most traumatic event in my life. Their deaths, in comparison, were not even as painful. At the time I was simply told to "man up" by friends and family. Fortunately, today, professional help is available and there are many more solutions and options for healing. My story, as well as dozens of other real-life stories from those who have gone through a divorce or been affected by it, are included so readers can better understand and relate to the myriad feelings that surface as a result. A variety of topics are discussed including heartbreak, grief, the loss of one's home, legal and financial ramifications, children and custody, dealing with family and friends, the outlook of various faiths and finally, moving on. While each divorce is unique, there is hope for all provided in these pages.
