Цитаты

quote
Morality binds and blinds. It binds us into ideological teams that fight each other as though the fate of the world depended on our side winning each battle. It blinds us to the fact that each team is composed of good people who have something important to say
-The Righteous Mind
quote
If you think that moral reasoning is something we do to figure out the truth, you’ll be constantly frustrated by how foolish, biased, and illogical people become when they disagree with you
-The Righteous Mind
quote
Anyone who values truth should stop worshipping reason
-The Righteous Mind
quote
Love and work are to people what water and sunshine are to plants
-The Happiness Hypothesis
quote
People don't get depressed when they face threats collectively; they get depressed when they feel isolated, lonely, or useless
-The Anxious Generation
quote
Our moral thinking is much more like a politician searching for votes than a scientist searching for truth
-The Righteous Mind
quote
Those who think money can't buy happiness just don't know where to shop … People would be happier and healthier if they took more time off and spent it with their family and friends, yet America has long been heading in the opposite direction
-The Happiness Hypothesis
quote
If you grow up in a WEIRD society, you become so well educated in the ethic of autonomy that you can detect oppression and inequality even where the apparent victims see nothing wrong
-The Righteous Mind
quote
People who devote their lives to studying something often come to believe that the object of their fascination is the key to understanding everything
-The Righteous Mind
quote
Your worst enemy cannot harm you as much as your own thoughts, unguarded. But once mastered, no one can help you as much, not even your father or your mother
-The Coddling of the American Mind
