“Jeremy Adam Smith is a most purposeful father, a periodic stay-at-home dad who sees his role as not just a choice that’s best for his family but as a sign of a rapidly changing societal landscape. The Web site he founded, Daddy Dialectic, has become a place for men to discuss the practical parts of parenting, as well as the philosophical, economic and political pieces. And his new book, The Daddy Shift, is a chronicle of a time that he predicts we will look back upon as the start of permanent change.”--Lisa Belkin, The New York Times

“Jeremy Adam Smith says what I wish I could about the politics of fatherhood and what it means to be a dad dedicated to equity, change, and social justice for our children and for all children.”-- Daddy in a Strange Land

Jeremy Adam Smith is the author of The Daddy Shift, now available from Beacon Press; co-editor of The Compassionate Instinct, forthcoming from W.W. Norton & Co. in January 2010; and co-editor of Are We Born Racist?, which Beacon Press will publish in Spring 2010.

He is senior editor of Greater Good magazine, published by the U.C. Berkeley Greater Good Science Center. “Greater Good magazine offers the best coverage anywhere of the emerging science of empathy, altruism and compassion--plus the writing makes technical findings a pleasure to read about,” says Daniel Goleman, author of Emotional Intelligence and Social Intelligence.

Jeremy is also the founder of Daddy Dialectic, a group blog that explores the experiences of twenty-first-century dads, which has earned praise from the Washington Post, New York Times, Seattle Post-Intelligencer, and many corners of the blogosphere.

His essays, short stories, and articles on parenting, popular culture, urban life, and politics have appeared in The Nation, BusinessWeek.com, Mothering, San Francisco Bay Guardian, San Francisco Chronicle, Utne Reader, Wired, and numerous other periodicals and books. Jeremy has also been interviewed by many media outlets, including The New York Times, USA Today, Details magazine, Nightline, Forum with Michael Krasny (KQED/NPR), Here and Now with Robin Young (WBUR/NPR), The Agenda with Steve Paikin (TVO), The Current (CBC), The Takeaway (BBC World Service), Salon.com, and the Toronto Star.
