I have found the fundamental laws of fatherhood. Skeptics said it couldn’t be done. Fatherhood is too complicated, they cried, to be reduced to capsule form. But the complexity only added intrigue to my search for guiding principles. After all the emotion, all the yelling, all the laughter, I have distilled the duties and demands down to a decade of Daddy dicta. Herewith, on behalf of all God’s children and the men who love them, the Ten Commandments of Dad.

Reading is an incredibly important skill to have. Just about any form of education will involve reading, sometimes almost exclusively. You can often make yourself an expert on an intellectual subject just by reading enough in that area. But despite the incredible importance of reading, most people are wildly inefficient at it. Like a child that never goes beyond a crawl, most people have enough reading skills to move around, but they are far from running.

Our first annual list of those physicians who have the knowledge, the experience, and the tools to maintain and repair the 21st-century man Men have had a rocky relationship with doctors since day 1. Don't remember? There you were, bobbing in a sea of amniotic security, when a masked man suddenly yanked you out, smacked your butt, and then, right before your traumatized eyes . . . cut your lifeline. Next time you saw the sadist, he was holding a scalpel and reaching for your penis. Today, the indignities of the relationship remain (digital rectal exam, anyone?), though at least now you decide whom to trust with your life. But how exactly do you decide? How does a guy tell all the whitecoats apart, distinguish the merely competent doctors from the truly talented? Leave that to Men's Health and Castle Connolly Medical, a research firm that asks physicians whom they would go to and then exhaustively screens the results. Together we've compiled a directory of crack practitioners in the most vital specialties for men, from psychiatry to urology.
