Buchzusammenfassung
Paul Bloom, a psychologist of Canadian-American descent, investigates the ways in which both children and adults comprehend the physical and social aspects of the world. His specific areas of focus include language, morality, religion, fiction, and art.
Although we learn many moral behaviors in childhood, babies already possess qualities essential for moral development. Even though we're hardwired to make moral judgments, what's considered ethical and what isn't differs worldwide and seems to change over time.
Explore new possibilities.
Next time you unquestioningly follow a cultural norm, rather than thinking, “That’s just how we do things," reframe your thinking as "It's just the way our tribe does things." Thus, you will become more accepting of the moral values of other societies and foster cross-cultural understanding.
Meet people outside your immediate circle of friends.
Consider spending time with people outside your usual social circle occasionally. You might become more tolerant and open to others when you learn how they view the world.
“Love is a gross exaggeration of the difference between one person and everybody else.”
“If you suffer for something that gives delight, soon the suffering itself can give joy.”
“A meaningful life, at least to some extent, has to do with what one does and how one affects people.”
