Book Description:
In The Righteous Mind, Jonathan Haidt, a psychologist, answers some of the most exciting questions about how people get along with each other.
Why does it sometimes seem like half of the world’s people live in a different moral universe? Why do words like “fair” and “free” mean many other things to different people? Why is it so hard to look at things from someone else’s point of view? Why do politics and religion make us fight?
Jonathan Haidt shows that our minds are set up to be moralistic, judgmental, and self-righteous. This makes it hard for us to get along with each other. He talks about how morality evolved to help people live together and how moral values aren’t just about fairness and justice. For some people, authority, holiness, and loyalty are more important. Morality ties people down and makes them blind, but Haidt shows through his own research that it is possible to free ourselves from the fights that separate good people.
As America gets more divided and stuck, social psychologist Jonathan Haidt has done something that seems impossible: he has challenged the way people usually think about morality, politics, and religion in a way that people from all sides of the political spectrum can understand. Using his 25 years of ground-breaking research on moral psychology, he shows that ethical decisions are not based on logic but on gut feelings. He explains why liberals, conservatives, and libertarians have different ideas about right and wrong. He also explains why each side is right about many of the essential things it cares about. Haidt gives you the key to understanding both the miracle of how people can work together and the curse of how they can’t get along. Read The Righteous Mind if you want to trade your anger for understanding.
