In The Righteous Mind, social psychologist Jonathan Haidt explores the origins of our divisions and points the way forward to mutual understanding. His starting point is moral intuition - the nearly instantaneous perceptions we all have about other people and the things they do. These intuitions feel like self-evident truths, making us righteously certain that those who see things differently are wrong. Haidt shows us how these intuitions differ across cultures, including the cultures of the political left and right.

Best Narration
Revisado: 09-07-16
This has been the best narration I've heard for a non fiction book. He made intelligent changes helped a listener understand the context of the words better. For example, he marked the beginning and end of each quotation. With most narrators, I found myself having to listen to a passage multiple times to find the start and end of quotes. With this narrator, you could just listen to the content without getting distracted by minor details.
The subject matter is really great as well. I would recommend it to anybody who has felt frustrated by the other side of a political argument. This book will help you an appreciation of where they are coming from and how to appeal to them.

The greatest obstacle to sound economic policy is not entrenched special interests or rampant lobbying, but the popular misconceptions, irrational beliefs, and personal biases held by ordinary voters. This is economist Bryan Caplan's sobering assessment in this provocative and eye-opening book.

Interesting
Revisado: 05-25-16
Overall the content of the book was interesting and the author does a good job of making his argument. The book is somewhat hindered by being in audio format.
* Even with the headers between sections, it can be hard to tell where they are. It would help it the reader had paused briefly for them.
* The author likes to do lots of block quotes surrounded by prose. Given he is typically quoting contemporary writers, it can be hard to tell when the quote starts. This is a problem audible has in general.
With those complaints in mind, the book is still quite interesting and thought provoking. I still recommend listening to it.
