Joseph Henrich

Perhaps you are WEIRD: raised in a society that is Western, Educated, Industrialized, Rich, and Democratic. If so, you’re rather psychologically peculiar.

Unlike much of the world today, and most people who have ever lived, WEIRD people are highly individualistic, self-obsessed, control-oriented, nonconformist, and analytical. They focus on themselves—their attributes, accomplishments, and aspirations—over their relationships and social roles. How did WEIRD populations become so psychologically distinct? What role did these psychological differences play in the industrial revolution and the global expansion of Europe during the last few centuries?

In The WEIRDest People in the World, Joseph Henrich draws on cutting-edge research in anthropology, psychology, economics, and evolutionary biology to explore these questions and more. He illuminates the origins and evolution of family structures, marriage, and religion, and the profound impact these cultural transformations had on human psychology. Mapping these shifts through ancient history and late antiquity, Henrich reveals that the most fundamental institutions of kinship and marriage changed dramatically under pressure from the Roman Catholic Church. It was these changes that gave rise to the WEIRD psychology that would coevolve with impersonal markets, occupational specialization, and free competition—laying the foundation for the modern world.

Provocative and engaging in both its broad scope and its surprising details, The WEIRDest People in the World explores how culture, institutions, and psychology shape one another, and explains what this means for both our most personal sense of who we are as individuals and also the large-scale social, political, and economic forces that drive human history.

Incredible Devotional
Format: Hardcover
I read Reason for Marriage and it was one of my all time favorite books! Tim Keller was a brilliant author. My husband does not read at all, but I wanted him to experience the value of this book. The devotional has been short enough for him to stay focused and thought provoking enough for him to contribute to the conversation. Really insightful and thoughtful topics. I love that they don’t just breeze through all different topics but dive really deep into each one and spend multiple days digging deeper and deeper. Highly recommend!

I'm glad I chose these women vitamins!!!
I chose these women's vitamins because I don't like swallowing pills much at all and they are easy to swallow,plus they are a great vitamin supplement. Consistency is the key and it's a big bottle which is great for the price. I love these vitamins and I feel the difference in my body. These aren't just vitamins that get urinated out,they are absorbed. Be sure to follow directions for use on the bottle for best results.

Hard to find capsules
Im so glad these are capsules and not gummies (extra carbs) or tablets (does the body even absorb them) Nutrients are getting to the bloodstream quicker.
