The Righteous Mind
by Jonathan Haidt
Jonathan Haidt clearly describes what is missing in current human dialogue around the globe.His message applies to all forms of dialogue, not just religion and politics. One key point is that for me to cause change I must appreciate the core values of those who oppose the change and find ways for the proposed change to accommodate their core values. The key point is that most of us spend too much time appealing logically to other people's conscious minds and far too little time appealing to their unconscious minds where emotions drive more than 95% of our decisions. For the sake our civil, democratic societies, every adult on planet Earth should rad this book and take its message to heart.
Review is by R.E. Sheffield
