Why can't our political leaders work together as threats loom and problems mount? Why do people so readily assume the worst about the motives of their fellow citizens? In The Righteous Mind, social psychologist Jonathan Haidt explores the origins of our divisions and points the way forward to mutual understanding.

His starting point is moral intuition--the nearly instantaneous perceptions we all have about other people and the things they do. These intuitions feel like self-evident truths, making us righteously certain that those who see things differently are wrong. Haidt shows us how these intuitions differ across cultures, including the cultures of the political left and right. He blends his own research findings with those of anthropologists, historians, and other psychologists to draw a map of the moral domain, and he explains why conservatives can navigate that map more skillfully than can liberals. He then examines the origins of morality, overturning the view that evolution made us fundamentally selfish creatures. But rather than arguing that we are innately altruistic, he makes a more subtle claim--that we are fundamentally groupish. It is our groupishness, he explains, that leads to our greatest joys, our religious divisions, and our political affiliations. In a stunning final chapter on ideology and civility, Haidt shows what each side is right about, and why we need the insights of liberals, conservatives, and libertarians to flourish as a nation.

Softer and Larger than Expected
I was a bit wary of this shirt because I had only purchased 100% cotton ones in the past. My first impression out of the package was how soft the material felt. I was very impressed because it usually takes many washings before oxford cloth shirts get that soft. When I put it on, I discovered that there was no noticeable difference made with the small amount of stretch fabric woven into the shirt. I suspect that there would be some give if I wore the shirt as a tight fit, but I prefer my shirts loose, so it wasn't an issue. I found that the shirt was larger than other same sized shirts I've received from Amazon in the past--bigger is better than smaller, but if you are looking for a close fit, you will want to be conservative in the size you order. I didn't realize until I'd been wearing it for a while that it lacks a pocket, I went to put my glasses in my shirt pocket and there wasn't one!

Looks great
I got this to make a memorial shirt for my grandmas funeral. I was worried it may be too hot but the fabric is thick and breathable. Easy to heat press on. Looks great! I actually want to buy another

Good fit, stays tucked.
A little long to wear untucked, but long enough to stay tucked through the work day.

Very small for the indicated size. Fairly thick, more like a Fall shirt than a Summer one
This is almost a 3 star shirt, but it has some drawbacks: 1. it is very short for it's size. I ordered an XX (2X) because I am not skinny. But I am not short either. This shirt would probably be tall enough for a very round 5ft tall man.. but if you are of average or slightly taller than average height you may find the torso length to be radically too small (unless you'r using this as a half-shirt for the gym or beach to show off those abs. :-D ... I am a bit more conservative in nature and so this shirt simply doesn't cut it. *so: if you have a VERY SHORT TORSO this may be a great option for you! :-) Thickness of fabric; the material is really thick. I was immediately getting warm when wearing this. It is advertised as a summer shirt but really it is more appropriate for Fall or Winter. Otherwise, the buttons seem durable, the stitching is adequate, and the price ain't bad. Lets call it 2.75 stars; recommended only on conditions indicated above.
