Just Babies: The Origins of Good and Evil by Paul Bloom
5.0
2nd read:
I’ve been re-reading Paul Bloom’s books over the last year or so, and this was one of the first of his that I read. It still holds up, and I loved giving it another read. This is the best book I’ve read that really helps shed light on whether morality is taught or an intrinsic part of human nature. Paul’s research as well as the research of many others shows how children develop a sense of morality and fairness early on, and it’s really interesting how he blends this with evolutionary psychology as well. Definitely check this book out if you haven’t yet.
