This well-researched examination of human moral impulses will appeal to liberals and conservatives alike following the 2016 presidential campaign and election. As America descends deeper into polarization and paralysis; social psychologist Jonathan Haidt has done the seemingly impossible—challenged conventional thinking about morality; politics; and religion in a way that speaks to everyone on the political spectrum. Drawing on his twenty five years of groundbreaking research on moral psychology; he shows how moral judgments arise not from reason but from gut feelings. He shows why liberals; conservatives; and libertarians have such different intuitions about right and wrong; and he shows why each side is actually right about many of its central concerns. In this subtle yet accessible book; Haidt gives you the key to understanding the miracle of human cooperation; as well as the curse of our eternal divisions and conflicts. If you’re ready to trade in anger for understanding; read The Righteous Mind.
