About the book
When Michael Lewis became a father, he was expected to feel emotions he did not have and to do things whose point he could not see. At first he felt guilty, until he noticed that the fathers around him were also pretending, and that what they actually did and felt was hidden behind a kind of extended cover-up. Lewis decided to write down what really took place right after each of his three children was born. The result is a frank and funny account of everyday household life seen from the father's side. Its point is not that Lewis is unusual but that he is typical, and it became a New York Times best seller.
Sheryl Sandberg admired how Michael Lewis breaks hard subjects down to their deepest truths, naming his writing on parenting in Home Game alongside his account of the 2008 crash.

Michael Lewis's ability to boil down the most complicated subjects is like a magic trick. You can't believe your own eyes. He takes on important issues - from the 2008 Wall Street crash in "The Big Short" to parenting in "Home Game" - and breaks them down to the deepest truths. His combination of an extraordinarily analytical mind and a deep understanding of human nature allows him to weave together data and events to offer a fresh and insightful narrative. Whatever the topic, the result is always compelling and even thrilling. I am in awe of him.
