The Righteous Mind: Why Good People Are Divided by Politics and Religion Free Audiobook Download by Jonathan Haidt

There's a war going on in the world, a moral war that pits two different worldviews against each other. The one that understands that we're born with compassion and moral intuitions is the liberal one. The one that says we need to be persuaded by authorities--whether they're parents or pastors or scientists--is conservative. Liberals care about people and place their trust in them, conservatives care about order and obedience to authorities. In this fascinating book Jonathan Haidt tells the story of how these two views of the world came about and traces how they lead us to today's debates.

Jonathan Haidt, a social psychologist and author of The Righteous Mind: Why Good People Are Divided by Politics and Religion, has found through his research that we are all born with certain innate moral intuitions. These moral impulses define us as individuals, but they also often cause us to act in accordance to these impulses even when they conflict with reason or the laws of society. Haidt argues that understanding these moral impulses is key to understanding our political and religious divides.

Jonathan Haidt is an American social psychologist who examines what makes political and moral reasoning so compelling, or at the very least, so mystifying. In the book, he draws on findings in social psychology and evolutionary biology to understand how humans are primed for moral-political thinking and how we evolved to be tribalistic. The Righteous Mind: Why Good People Are Divided by Politics and Religion narrates by [Jonathan Haidt].

"The Righteous Mind" is a 2014 nonfiction book by Jonathan Haidt which explores the psychology of moral communities, with particular emphasis on the tendency for individuals to be members of communities with like-minded people. The 'Righteous Mind' examines the psychology of morality and argues that humans are morally divided into those who are more empathetic and those who are more in tune with their instincts.

Jonathan Haidt provides a new way to understand the human mind and why people hold the beliefs they do, which he says has been a deep mystery for centuries. He argues that humans are divided by politics and religion not because of greed or any other personal motivation, but because these factors function as moral shortcuts for each individual to navigate difficult situations.
