In his debut book, PRESENT, Dr. Charles Daniels unpacks the healing power of presence what it means, what it requires, and how it transforms families. Through deeply personal stories and a call to redefine fatherhood, Dr. Daniels invites us to recognize that showing up—emotionally, spiritually, and physically is not just a responsibility, but a revolution.
