He is currently the Ben H. Williams Professor of Marketing at Baylor University in Waco, Texas where he has been a faculty member since 1991. His research regularly appears in many of the top marketing and psychology journals and has received two “Paper of the Year” awards.A primary focus of Dr. Roberts’ work over the last 10-15 years has been the psychology of consumer behavior.

Current research efforts focus on the topics of materialism, compulsive buying, credit card abuse, and self-control. His book, Shiny Objects, is available at a book store near you or on Amazon.com. The book takes a careful and amusing look at how our love of material possessions impacts our happiness and what we can do to find true happiness in a culture awash in material possession love. Dr. Roberts is a nationally recognized expert on consumer behavior and has been quoted extensively in the media and has appeared on the CBS Early Show, ABC World News Tonight, Yahoo.com’s “The Daily Ticker”, Time.com, US News & World Report, New York Times, USA Today, The Wall Street Journal, National Public Radio, Public Radio International’s (PRI) Marketplace, Cosmopolitan Magazine, Glamour, Good Housekeeping, and many other newspapers, magazines, websites, and television appearances.About the showThis podcast is sponsored by 360 Solutions. 360 Solutions helps people start, build, and run successful business consulting firms. 360 Solutions' proven High Performance Framework has helped hundreds of companies reach their full potential for over 20 years.
