'Lessons from Dad' now Available!

Litchfield Park, AZ – July 15, 2025 – Sam Goodman, the founder of The HOP Nerd LLC, known professionally for his work in the trenches of Human and Organizational Performance, is stepping out of the workplace and into the personal with the release of his new book, Lessons from Dad. This collection of stories is a sharp departure from his usual subject matter, offering readers a candid, heartfelt, and unfiltered look at the wisdom passed down from a father.

"A visceral, poignant, and surprisingly funny exploration of family, grief, and grit."

Lessons from Dad is not a business book. It contains no theories on operational excellence or tips for improving our work worlds. Instead, it’s a poignant and often hilarious exploration of the universal experience of growing up, navigating life’s absurdities, and learning from the man who was there for it all. The book captures the kinds of lessons that don't come from a manual—the ones learned in a garage, on a fishing trip, or over a kitchen table.

"I've come to believe that memory is a messy business—it's warped by love and probably full of holes. And that's okay. The most valuable inheritance isn't a perfect, polished story; it's the wisdom you find when you're brave enough to sift through the mess."

This book is for anyone who appreciates honest storytelling and believes the most profound truths are found in the everyday moments that shape a life.

Lessons from Dad is available now. Readers can purchase a copy directly from https://www.amazon.com/Lessons-Dad-Imperfect-Unspoken-Living/dp/B0FGX91Q97/ref=tmm_pap_swatch_0
