书籍简介

纽约时报畅销书《一个叫欧维的男人》的作者分享了一本令人无法抗拒和感动的关于父亲身份的文集，为他刚出生的儿子提供了他在这个世界上闯荡所需的观点和工具。

《不要和你妈争辩》收集了来自个人记录，这是任何男人都可能经历的最艰巨的经历之一：做父亲。

弗雷德里克·贝克曼在传达他对经历所有“第一次”的深深敬畏之情，这些“第一次”让他充满惊奇，也让他完全没有准备，他并不回避揭示自己的错误步骤和父亲的缺陷，解决了从男子气概和中年危机到实际笑话和大便等大小问题。

在睡眠不足的低谷和美妙的高潮之间，Backman退一步分享了与一个与他完全相反的女人相爱的真实故事，并学习如何无条件地围绕你所关心的人生活。巴克曼在幽默的旁白和为儿子提供建议的长篇文章之间交替出现，为他的儿子成长和冒险走向世界提供建议，他转述了生活中大大小小的教训，包括：

-如何找到你所属的团队

-为什么机场能解释关于宗教和战争的一切

-组建一个乐队对培养和保持友谊至关重要的原因

-如何打败猴子岛3

-为什么有时爸爸会把儿子的手抓得太紧？

这是一本不可抗拒的、富有洞察力的文集，非常适合新父母和巴克曼“对人性的理解无与伦比”（Shelf Awareness）的粉丝。正如他雄辩地提醒我们：“你可以成为任何你想成为的人，但这远不如知道你可以成为你自己那么重要”。

The #1 New York Times bestselling author of A Man Called Ove shares an irresistible and moving collection of heartfelt, humorous essays about fatherhood, providing his newborn son with the perspective and tools he’ll need to make his way in the world.

Things My Son Needs to Know About the World collects the personal dispatches from the front lines of one of the most daunting experiences any man can experience: fatherhood.

As he conveys his profound awe at experiencing all the “firsts” that fill him with wonder and catch him completely unprepared, Fredrik Backman doesn’t shy away from revealing his own false steps and fatherly flaws, tackling issues both great and small, from masculinity and mid-life crises to practical jokes and poop.

In between the sleep-deprived lows and wonderful highs, Backman takes a step back to share the true story of falling in love with a woman who is his complete opposite, and learning to live a life that revolves around the people you care about unconditionally. Alternating between humorous side notes and longer essays offering his son advice as he grows up and ventures out into the world, Backman relays the big and small lessons in life, including:

-How to find the team you belong to

-Why airports explain everything about religion and war

-The reason starting a band is crucial to cultivating and keeping friendships

-How to beat Monkey Island 3

-Why, sometimes, a dad might hold onto his son’s hand just a little too tight

This is an irresistible and insightful collection, perfect for new parents and fans of Backman’s “unparalleled understanding of human nature” (Shelf Awareness). As he eloquently reminds us, “You can be whatever you want to be, but that’s nowhere near as important as knowing that you can be exactly who you are.”
