Rob Henderson returns to my podcast! We discussed his recent memoir “Troubled: A Memoir of Foster Care, Family and Social Class” and the rough upbringings involved in the child foster care system. He’s also a professor on Peterson Academy (you can see his trailer here: petersonacademy.com). We discussed modern dating advice, how to identify psychopaths, the long-term effects of hookup culture, does polyamory work? And much more. Enjoy!
Rob Henderson grew up in foster homes in Los Angeles and the rural town of Red Bluff, California. He joined the US Air Force at the age of seventeen. Once described as “self-made” by The New York Times, Rob subsequently received a BS from Yale University and a PhD in psychology from St. Catharine’s College, Cambridge. His writing has appeared in The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, The Boston Globe, and more. His weekly newsletter is sent to more than fifty thousand subscribers.
