The Righteous Mind: Why Good People are Divided by Politics and Religion by Jonathan Haidt
I cannot recommend this book enough -- I'm halfway through it and it's a very accessible overview of work done in moral development psychology that (for me) shed light on how people come to believe the things they do so strongly. It's increasingly relevant today, and was a bit of an eye-opener for me.
Has anyone else checked it out? Curious to get your thoughts -- I'm not done yet and once I finish, I'm doing to dug through the primary sources he cites.
- sweetheart 9y agoSeconded - I'm reading it now and probably consider it one of the most personally influential books I've ever read. It doesn't hurt that Haidt is just a seriously talented writer.
