Ep190 - Jordan Shapiro | Father Figure: How to be a Feminist Dad


Listen Later

Author Jordan Shapiro discusses his book "Father Figure: How to be a Feminist Dad." Shapiro is a globally celebrated American thought leader, whose column in Forbes Magazine has been read by over 5 million people around the world. He writes about global education, learning through digital play, children, and culture. Additionally, he is an international speaker and consultant whose fresh perspective combines psychology, philosophy, and economics in unexpected ways.

In his book, Shapiro offers a norm-shattering perspective on fatherhood, family, and gender essentialism. This thoughtful exploration of dad-psychology—presented from an archetypal perspective—challenges our familiar assumptions about the origins of so-called traditional parenting roles. There are hundreds of books on parenting, but when it comes to books about parenting identity, rather than the nuts and bolts of raising children, nearly all are about what it's like to be a mother. Father Figure fills that gap; it teaches dads how to embrace the joys of fathering while guiding toward a healthy image of masculinity for the modern world.
