The Righteous Mind: Why Good People Are Divided by Politics and Religion

The Righteous Mind by Jonathan Haidt is a groundbreaking exploration of the origins of our divisions and the path forward to mutual understanding.

This book provides a comprehensive map of the moral domain, revealing why conservatives can navigate it more skillfully than liberals.

By examining the evolutionary roots of morality, Haidt challenges the view that we are fundamentally selfish creatures and instead argues that we are fundamentally groupish.

This insightful work offers a stunning final chapter on ideology and civility, demonstrating what each side is right about and why we need the insights of liberals, conservatives, and libertarians to flourish as a nation.

With its unique blend of psychology, anthropology, history, and politics, The Righteous Mind offers a profound understanding of our moral intuitions and their role in shaping our political affiliations.

This book is a must-read for anyone seeking to understand the complexities of human morality and the ways in which we can work together towards a brighter future.
