Gen X: Myths, Insights and Social Influences - An Interview w/ Professor Bobby Duffy


Listen Later

In this week’s episode, we have a fascinating conversation with Professor of Public Policy Bobby Duffy, about generational myths and stereotypes, focussing specifically on Generation X, who are midlifers just like us! 

Bobby’s career spans 30 years and is not only the Director of the Policy Institute at Kings College London, but author of two books  - The Perils of Perception – Why we’re wrong about nearly everything, and Generations: Does when you’re born shape who you are?.

We dive into the social influences that have shaped Generation X and the impact of being hinged between the baby boomers and the millennials. We also discuss how our values and behaviour differ from other generations, but also offers insights into the misconceptions we might hold.

This is an episode not to be missed because it’s been recorded for us midlifers in mind!
