Michael Shermer The Joe Rogan Experience · Jan 2019 Why people recommend it
Rule Makers, Rule Breakers by Michele Gelfand investigates how tight and loose cultural norms shape nations, organizations, and human behavior around the globe. Russ Roberts welcomed the author to EconTalk in October 2019 to discuss the core themes of her research, specifically how societies navigate order and latitude. During the same episode, Gelfand brought up a book titled This Land Is Full by environmentalist Ilan Tao to examine how family size norms and cultural pressures intersect with sustainability challenges in Israel. Additionally, Michael Shermer discussed reading Gelfand's book on The Joe Rogan Experience in January 2019, praising the cultural psychologist's insights into why certain societies enforce strict adherence to rules while others tolerate deviance. Across these podcast discussions, guests and hosts utilized the book to analyze how invisible cultural codes influence everything from daily social interactions to national responses to crises, providing a compelling framework for understanding global psychological diversity.
