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.

For those considering this book- if you're open to learning more about yourself and others, this can be an incredible outlet for self-discovery as well as help to create a stronger sense of empathy for others whom you don't typically agree with. That was clearly the purpose of this book supported by Haidt's great contributions to moral psychology.

Would I recommend it? That's an understatement. For $1.99 this is a steal of a deal. If you had any doubts about this book, just get it, but make sure you actually read it. It's phenomenal. I have no hesitation recommending this book to anyone, whether you are on one political stance or another or have the same or different morals or ethics from me. It's just that good and totally for everyone.
just a reminder that Haidt has become half a crank over the last 10 years since it was published in 2012.
I still like the book, but never ever meet our icons.
Pity.

This is passing for serious dialog now? Moral judgments are simply "gut feelings," never based on reason? What a crock. Avoid at all costs.
Intuitions come first - strategic reasoning second. Which is interesting because that's exactly what you did in your comment with no peer reviewed and cited data to back up your argument, unlike Haidt's book that explores the well cited moral foundations theory.

The irony overcomes you. So tempted to +1 for the lols but no.
Need to follow this up with a reading of the coddling of the American mind. In fact I'd recommend anyone to read his books in order (starting with the happiness hypothesis) as their themes are constructive.
Essentially it's 'thinking fast and slow' after taking a few steps in a useful direction and applied to contemporary scenarios. That'd be an even better starting point.
