Consider Dude, You're a Dad! by John Pfeiffer.
“Conversational, quick-reading and aimed at first-year survival, this book reads like a hands-on primer from a frank, often humorous dad. It delivers practical, scenario-based tips for night feedings, pediatric visits, returning to work and managing partner intimacy, which can calm anxious newcomers.

It also lacks structured exercises; better as a dip-in reference than a step-by-step training manual.”
