Tips from Dad: Don't let so-called 'social media' make you antisocial.
What is Tips från pappa?
Some advice you get from your parents.
The rest you have to collect yourself, sometimes in fairly strange circumstances.
Tips från pappa (Tips from Dad) is a collection of experiences, stories, confessions and advice from a life that hasn’t always gone to plan.
Not traditional self-help. Not an ordinary memoir. Somewhere in between: experience boiled down into advice, stories and situations.
About work, money, love, family, travel, mistakes, survival and the art of keeping your sanity when life is doing its best to take it away from you.
Some tips are useful.
Others are probably best treated as cautionary tales.
Some come with a story.
And some with a crossword.

A book is on its way.
A first edition is planned for 13 December 2026.
Like a Lucia procession, without taking it literally.
Later
Ordering opens later. One of the things you’ll be able to get then is a handwritten postcard.
A handwritten postcard, analogue, with a personal tip from wherever I happen to be when your order comes in.
The postcard on its own, or the handwritten postcard together with a signed book, which follows on 13 December.
The first hundred get a personal handwritten tip. If there are more of you, that’s just a bonus.
We’re thinking of keeping payment simple: about fifty kronor, the price of a coffee. Nothing is on sale yet — no pretend checkout here.
