Manage episode 408748752 series 2293185
Today's show is part of our two-episode "Society Check-In" mini-series. We'll dive into current societal trends with the help of experts and researchers, exploring essential knowledge and necessary actions. I'm thrilled to welcome Rob Henderson to the show. His upcoming book and unique societal insights, including the groundbreaking concept of "luxury beliefs", make him a vital voice for parents seeking to understand current cultural messaging.
Rob Henderson boasts an impressive background, including service in the US Air Force and degrees from Yale and Cambridge. His writing has graced publications like the New York Times and Wall Street Journal. Henderson's debut book, Troubled: A Memoir of Foster Care, Family, and Social Class explores his experiences in foster care, military service, education at elite universities, and the development of the "luxury beliefs" concept. This concept examines how ideas held by the upper class may inadvertently harm those less privileged.
