About this episode

Objectivism, Montessori Education, and Effective Parenting, with Catherine Dickerson


Catherine Dickerson, an Objectivist with 35 years of experience in education and psychotherapy, joins Michael to discuss the intersections between Objectivism, the Montessori Method, and Parent Effectiveness Training. From fostering independence in children to equipping parents with the tools to raise rational, self-sufficient individuals, Catherine shares valuable insights from her career as a Montessori teacher, licensed psychotherapist, and parenting instructor.


Michael Leibowitz, host of The Rational Egoist podcast, is a philosopher and political activist who draws inspiration from Ayn Rand’s philosophy, advocating for reason, rational self-interest, and individualism. His journey from a 25-year prison sentence to a prominent voice in the libertarian and Objectivist communities highlights the transformative impact of embracing these principles. Leibowitz actively participates in political debates and produces content aimed at promoting individual rights and freedoms. He is the co-author of “Down the Rabbit Hole: How the Culture of Correction Encourages Crime” and “View from a Cage: From Convict to Crusader for Liberty,” which explore societal issues and his personal evolution through Rand’s teachings.
