Jonathan Haidt writes social psychology and public-facing non-fiction about morality, politics, institutions and the conditions that shape well-being. The Righteous Mind argues that moral judgement often begins with intuition and that political groups emphasise different moral concerns, using research in moral psychology to explain why opponents can appear not merely mistaken but morally incomprehensible to one another. The Happiness Hypothesis compares ideas from ancient philosophy and religion with modern psychological research, while The Coddling of the American Mind, written with Greg Lukianoff, examines campus culture, anxiety and habits of thinking the authors believe can make conflict harder to manage. The Anxious Generation turns to adolescent mental health and the effects Haidt associates with smartphones and social media. His books are explanatory and argumentative, mixing research summaries with broad social claims. Useful discovery categories include moral psychology, political psychology, social media and mental-health debate. Read more Less
