Audiobook
"Warum fühlt es sich oft so an, als würde die Hälfte der Bevölkerung in einem anderen moralischen Universum leben? Warum bedeuten 'Gerechtigkeit' und 'Freiheit' für verschiedene Menschen so unterschiedliche Dinge? Warum geraten wir ständig wegen unserer Weltanschauungen aneinander, selbst wenn wir im Grunde dasselbe wollen? Der Sozialpsychologe Jonathan Haidt zeigt: Die Antwort liegt in unserer Moral - die weit weniger auf Rationalität und Logik gründet als auf Intuition und Sozialtrieb. Moral bringt uns dazu, individuelle Interessen zu überwinden und mit anderen zu kooperieren; zugleich aber macht sie uns blind für die Perspektiven anderer Gruppen. So haben sich im Lauf der Evolution und Geschichte zwischen Gemeinschaften und Kulturen sehr unterschiedliche moralische Intuitionen herausgebildet. Haidt erklärt, wie diese uns sozial binden, aber auch blenden, etwa im politischen Dauerstreit zwischen Progressiven und Konservativen. Sein Buch hilft uns, nicht nur unser individuelles Verhalten besser zu verstehen, sondern auch die gesellschaftlichen Auseinandersetzungen der Gegenwart - und über weltanschauliche Gräben hinweg zueinanderfinden. Zu diesem Hörbuch gibt es Zusatzmaterial. Eine Anleitung zum Download finden Sie im FAQ des Shops und der argon-Webseite."

Audiobook
"Den överbeskyddade människan tar avstamp i ett nytt fenomen på amerikanska universitet. Studenter kräver att föreläsare, talare och rektorer som avviker från deras världsbild ska avlägsnas, eller till och med avskedas. Greg Lukianoff och Jonathan Haidt spårar denna utveckling till att många unga idag får en överbeskyddande och ängslig uppfostran som berövar dem möjligheten att utveckla självförtroende och förmåga att på egen hand lösa konflikter. Paranoida föräldrar, ökningen av ångest och depression bland elever och uppkomsten av nya idéer om rättvisa leder enligt författarna till välmenande men miss-riktade försök att skydda unga människor. Istället skadas deras utveckling och mentala hälsa, utbildningssystemens funktion och till och med själva demokratin. Boken har ett förord skrivet av Johan Hakelius, politisk chefredaktör för nyhetsmagasinet Fokus."

The Anxious Generation: How the Great Rewiring of Childhood Is Causing an Epidemic of Mental Illness
"THE NO.1 INTERNATIONAL BESTSELLER A TIMES, FT, ECONOMIST AND INDEPENDENT BOOK OF THE YEAR Acclaimed psychologist Jonathan Haidt reveals how the decline of free-play in childhood and the rise of smartphone use among adolescents is changing our world From 2010, as teens traded in their flip phones for smartphones packed with social media apps, unsupervised time online soared while face-to-face conversations with friends and family plummeted, and so did mental health. This profound shift took place against a backdrop of diminishing childhood freedom and over-supervision in the real world, depriving children of the experiences they most need to become strong and self-governing adults. The Anxious Generation delves into the latest research to show how this shift from free-play to smartphones disrupts development – from sleep deprivation to addiction – and lays the foundations of isolation and fear that define society today. Grounded in ancient wisdom and packed full of cutting-edge science and practical advice, this eye-opening book is a life-raft for anyone who wants to understand how the most rapid rewiring of human relationships and consciousness in human history has made it harder for all of us to think, focus, forget ourselves enough to care about others and build close relationships. ‘Boundlessly wise . . . important and engrossing’ The New York Times ‘One of the most important books I’ve read . . . It’s absolutely brilliant’ Dr Rangan Chatterjee 'Urgent and essential' Guardian ©2024 Jonathan Haidt (P)2024 Penguin Audio"

Audiobook
"Penguin presents the audiobook edition of The Coddling of the America Mind by Jonathan Haidt and Greg Lukianoff, read by Jonathan Haidt. What doesn't kill you makes you weaker Always trust your feelings Life is a battle between good people and evil people These three Great Untruths contradict basic psychological principles about well-being, as well as ancient wisdom from many cultures. And yet they have become increasingly woven into education, culminating in a stifling culture of 'safetyism' that began on American college campuses and is spreading throughout academic institutions in the English-speaking world. In this book, free speech campaigner Greg Lukianoff and social psychologist Jonathan Haidt investigate six trends that caused the spread of these untruths, from the decline of unsupervised play to the corporatization of universities and the rise of new ideas about identity and justice. Lukianoff and Haidt argue that well-intended but misguided attempts to protect young people can hamper their development, with devastating consequences for them, for the educational system and for democracy itself."

The Righteous Mind: Why Good People Are Divided by Politics and Religion
"Why can't our political leaders work together as threats loom and problems mount? Why do people so readily assume the worst about the motives of their fellow citizens? 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. He blends his own research findings with those of anthropologists, historians, and other psychologists to draw a map of the moral domain, and he explains why conservatives can navigate that map more skillfully than can liberals. He then examines the origins of morality, overturning the view that evolution made us fundamentally selfish creatures. But rather than arguing that we are innately altruistic, he makes a more subtle claim-that we are fundamentally groupish. It is our groupishness, he explains, that leads to our greatest joys, our religious divisions, and our political affiliations. In a stunning final chapter on ideology and civility, Haidt shows what each side is right about, and why we need the insights of liberals, conservatives, and libertarians to flourish as a nation."
