The Righteous Mind

“I know Jonathan Height talks about this in his book, The Righteous Minds, that we all have sort of a God-shaped hole in us...”

“but your first book Is All About moral framework MH connect these for me”

“A lot of it is down to phones, you know this, Jonathan Haidt’s book that came out was pretty scary about the impact on impressionable young minds, but I also think we're not preparing kids when they come through school; we're not preparing them for the hard knocks of the real world.”

“Otherwise, we live in our tiny Righteous Mind as Jonathan Haidt calls it—this idea that my way is righteous and I believe the way I live and the way I think is the only right way.”

“But what's happened is, as I say in 'The Righteous Mind', we evolved for small-scale societies that are deeply religious, that circle around sacred objects to make us stronger, especially in battles against other groups.”

“What we did is we took some insights from moral psychology and some of the content from my book, The Righteous Mind.”

“Moral emotions, so this is a frame from Jonathan Haidt, who is my collaborator at NYU; he read the foreword of the book and has been researching moral emotions for a long time.”

“and no john jonathan height the righteous mind that's those are the four”

“I think you've had Jonathan height on the show and his book the righteous mind is brilliant about this that we were evolved to be religious creatures in a certain way”

“one of the things I cover in the happiness I pop in that righteous mind is we're all designed for confirmation bias”

“I have booked without a doubt some of the best minds on the planet to come on this podcast mr. Jonathan hight author of the righteous mind is coming on Rory Sutherland vice chairman of Google V advertising which is one of the biggest advertising companies in the world tiago forte of the Praxis blog”

“so you know the people who have thought the most deeply about this like I'm a big fan of Jonathan heights work and the righteous mind and and the way he kind of analyzes this stuff”

“so my second book the righteous mind the subtitle is why good people are divided by politics and religion”
