About this book-as-podcast

Haidt argues that gut feeling drives moral judgement, with reason arriving only to back the feeling up. People across cultures draw on different moral values, not just harm and fairness, which explains deep political and religious divides. Religion and group loyalty are not flaws in human nature but features that helped societies hold together.
