What if we understood faith crisis as part of a natural cycle of spiritual growth, a breaking open to make room for new life and new faith? In the new book Navigating Mormon Faith Crisis, Thomas McConkie draws on the study of adult development to provide a map for people who find themselves in faith crisis, fearing they might have taken a wrong turn in their spiritual progression.

The left and right will always have strong policy disagreements, but constructive debate and negotiation are not possible when each side demonizes the other. In this book, social psychologist Ronnie Janoff-Bulman provides a new framework for understanding why and how we disagree. Janoff-Bulman asks listeners to consider the challenging possibility that both liberalism and conservatism are morally based and reflect genuine concern for the country. Understanding that our political differences are rooted in two natural forms of morality can help us begin to detoxify our politics.

Interesting psychology; unimpressive scholarship in non-psychological fields

Interesting psychology; unimpressive scholarship in non-psychological fields
Revisado: 08-24-24
Janoff-Bulman has some intriguing psychological ideas to share in the first half of the book. In her proposal of competing moral frameworks as a basis for political division, I believe she makes an important contribution to the dialogue. However, I was unimpressed by the scholarship she demonstrated in the second half of the book.
For instance, while discussing welfare policy in the United States, she referenced the work of Esther Duflo, claiming (if I recall correctly) that Duflo’s findings indicate that government handouts do not decrease incentives to work as much as conservatives fear. This statement intrigued me so much that I read the entire book Janoff-Bulman had referenced (“Poor Economics”, by Esther Duflo.) Although I found that book to be extremely well-researched, informative, and surprising in its conclusions, nowhere did I find an analysis of welfare policies in the United States. Instead, I found that Duflo’s work focused on very poor people in India, South America, and Africa, and that nowhere did she claim that government handouts (in general) do not have disincentivizing effects. To the contrary, I found that Duflo strongly warned against the kind of sweeping generalizations we are prone to make with regard to the poor, including the very kind of generalization that Janoff-Bulman seemed to be making in this book (i.e., that we need not worry about the counter-productive incentives which government-sponsored welfare programs may create.)
This was the only reference which Janoff-Bulman made that I studied so thoroughly, but the results were disappointing enough that I have all but lost interest in the rest of this book.

Factfulness: The stress-reducing habit of carrying only opinions for which you have strong supporting facts. When asked simple questions about global trends - what percentage of the world's population live in poverty; why the world's population is increasing; how many girls finish school - we systematically get the answers wrong. In Factfulness, professor of international health and global TED phenomenon Hans Rosling, together with his two longtime collaborators, Anna and Ola, offers a radical new explanation of why this happens.

The book we all should have read before Covid
Revisado: 12-08-23
This book gives me hope about global trends even though it maintains a sober outlook on the real and pressing world problems of today. After reading this, I am no longer angry at the media for presenting a distorted world view. Instead, I see that the real challenge for me - and for all of us - is learning how to effectively control my own human, necessary, and often-misleading instincts.
