The WEIRDest People in the World: How the West Became Psychologically Peculiar and Particularly Prosperous

The WEIRDest People in the World is a groundbreaking book that uncovers the fascinating history of how Western societies became so peculiarly individualistic, self-obsessed, control-oriented, nonconformist, and analytical.

Joseph Henrich's comprehensive research draws on anthropology, psychology, economics, and evolutionary biology to explore the origins and evolution of family structures, marriage, and religion, and their profound impact on human psychology.

This book is a must-read for anyone interested in understanding the unique characteristics of Western societies and how they shape our modern world.
