About the Books
Jonathan Haidt is one of today's most influential social psychologists, and this set gathers three of his most discussed works into a single paperback collection. The Happiness Hypothesis, first published in 2006, blends ancient philosophical wisdom with modern psychological research, asking what timeless ideas about happiness still hold up under scientific scrutiny.
The Righteous Mind turns to moral psychology, exploring why people across the political and religious spectrum hold sincerely different convictions. Drawing on decades of research, Haidt introduces his moral foundations theory, showing how intuition and emotion, not just reason, shape our sense of right and wrong.
The Coddling of the American Mind, co-written with Greg Lukianoff, was a New York Times bestseller and a finalist for the National Book Critics Circle Award. It investigates three "Great Untruths" gaining traction in education, arguing overprotection may undermine young people's resilience and readiness for open debate.
Together, these three titles offer a thoughtful, research-driven exploration of the mind, morality, and modern culture.
