For the meeting in "August", we'll read and discuss The Righteous Mind: Why Good People Are Divided by Politics and Religion by Jonathan Haidt
Description from Goodreads:
*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.*
*New to book club? You're welcome to join our discussion. We'll discuss our thoughts on the book and share related topics.
*Discussions held in English
