Jonathan Haidt: Saving Ourselves from Social Media and Political Division - a podcast by NYU Stern student newspaper “The Opportunity "

We are so excited to have world-renowned social psychologist and author Jonathan Haidt on the show this week. Daniel and Tiffany talked to Professor Haidt about how a social psychologist wound up teaching at a business school, how we can better engage with the other side of the political aisle, and what we can do to reduce online hate and maybe save Gen Z from their generational mental health crisis.

Jonathan Haidt is the author of The Happiness Hypothesis: Finding Modern Truth in Ancient Wisdom (2006), The Righteous Mind: Why Good People are Divided by Politics and Religion (2012), and The Coddling of the American Mind: How Good Intentions and Bad Ideas Are Setting Up a Generation for Failure (2018).
