NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER - The acclaimed social psychologist
challenges conventional thinking about morality, politics, and religion
in a way that speaks to conservatives and liberals alike--a "landmark
contribution to humanity's understanding of itself" (The New York Times
Book Review).
Drawing on his twenty-five years of groundbreaking research on moral
psychology, Jonathan Haidt 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.
