JONATHAN HAIDTis a professor in the Department of Psychology at University of Virginia. He is the author of The Happiness Hypothesis. A groundbreaking investigation into the origins of morality, which turns out to be the basis for religion and politics. The book is timely (explaining the American culture wars and refuting the "New Atheists"), scholarly (integrating insights from many fields) and great fun to read (like Haidt's last book, The Happiness Hypothesis). "Haidt's research has revolutionized the field of moral psychology. His elegantly written book has far-reaching implications for anyone interested in politics, religion, or the many controversies that divide modern societies. If you want to know why you hold your moral beliefs, and why many people disagree with you, read this book." ??imon Baron-Cohen, Cambridge University, Author of Zero Degrees of Empathyand The Science of Evil "A profound discussion of the diverse psychological roots of morality and their role in producing political conflicts. It's not too much to hope that the book will help to reduce those conflicts." ??ichard E. Nisbett, University of Michigan "Haidt's research has revolutionized the field of moral psychology.

"What drives our personal morality (like judging that eating your pet dog after it dies is bad)? What determines our political or religious beliefs (like preferring burial over cremation)? Why do some people love new experiences (for example, trying new foods) whilst others treating them as 'untouchable'? Jon Haidt's highly readable book is an elegantly written revelation of how powerful evolved emotions (like betrayal or disgust) sway our judgment and our reasons for our values (like loyalty or justice). His research has revolutionized the field of moral psychology by 'Darwinizing' it, providing answers to questions that have puzzled philosophers for millenia. His book has far-reaching implications for anthropology, politics, moral philosophy and social psychology. If you want someone to get under your skin, to surgically reveal why you feel your beliefs are right, read this book." ??imon Baron-Cohen, Cambridge University, Author of Zero Degrees of Empathyand The Science of Evil "A profound discussion of the diverse psychological roots of morality and their role in producing political conflicts.
