Why do good people hold such different moral and political beliefs? In The Righteous Mind, social psychologist Jonathan Haidt draws on research in psychology, anthropology, and neuroscience to show how moral intuitions shape our deepest divisions — and how understanding them can help us bridge the divides that separate us.
Goodreads readers call it “a fascinating, accessible look at moral psychology and political polarization.” The insights into human nature are invaluable, even where the argument challenges your own assumptions.
Perfect for fans of Thinking, Fast and Slow by Daniel Kahneman, Behave by Robert Sapolsky, or The Blank Slate by Steven Pinker. Popular with readers drawn to intellectual explorations of morality, tribalism, and empathy. The viral quote captures the book’s provocative spirit: “We’re all self-righteous hypocrites.”
