Bridging The Gap: The Science Of Morality, Politics, & Finding Common Ground With Kurt Gray

Join us in this episode as Kurt Gray discusses his latest book, Outraged: Why We Fight About Morality and Politics and How to Find Common Ground. Kurt is a Professor of Psychology and Neuroscience at the University of North Carolina and director of the Deepest Beliefs Lab and the Center for the Science of Moral Understanding. He is also an award-winning researcher who uses interdisciplinary methods to study our deepest-held beliefs and bridge moral divides.

In Outraged, Kurt unveils groundbreaking research demonstrating that both the left and the right operate from the same moral framework: one where judgments arise from a shared instinct to respond to perceived threats or vulnerability to harm. From here, he offers a fresh perspective on moral outrage that enables readers to truly empathize with the “other side”…

In this conversation, we cover:

• How to minimize the gaps between beliefs.
• The three myths engrained in society.
• The benefits of not basing decisions on fear.
• Why humanizing opposing political parties is so important.

Can we reframe where moral judgments come from? Are there sustainable ways to overcome the feelings of outrage that so often divide us? Click play to find out for yourself!
