📕 BOOK OF THE WEEK

An awesome deep dive into the Social-Psychological understanding of righteousness. Why we think we’re right and they’re wrong, and why in almost every circumstance we could learn something from those with differing opinions than us.
One of the foundational pieces discussed in the book is the fact that we, as humans, make decisions in the parts of our brain that aren't subject to critical thinking. If you want to sway someones opinion, Haidt suggests, you must first appeal to their elephant (the emotional part of their brain or "why they feel the way they do").
