But only now are we learning how profoundly fatherhood changes men's brains and biology - and the effects these changes have on their health, skills, relationships and sense of purpose. In <i>Dad Brain</i>, one of the world's leading researchers of fatherhood, Darby Saxbe, provides a captivating account of this new science, revealing that:</p><p>Fathers' brains shrink and their testosterone drops<br> Fathers undergo a host of hormonal changes once thought only to affect women<br> Fathers can suffer post-partum depression but enjoy better long-term health<br> Fathers' style of play makes their kids more resilient<br> Dads who do more housework are generally happier</p><p>Above all, <i>Dad Brain</i> shows that these are all crucial adaptations that enable better parenting but they only come online when fathers invest time into parenthood: the more they do, the more they change for the better. Ultimately it shows a good father is not something you are, it is something you <i>become</i>.</p><p><b>'Saxbe's deeply researched and entertaining book fills a crucial gap in our understanding' </b><i>Financial Times</i></p><p><b>'Saxbe wants to debunk the stereotype that parenting does not come naturally to men and . . . takes particular aim at the myth that they "lack the biology for it"' </b><i>Sunday Times</i></p>
