Today is October 11th and like always The Gary Null Show is here to inform you on the best news in health, healing, the environment. 

JONATHAN HAIDT is a social psychologist whose research examines the intuitive foundations of morality. His most recent book is the New York Times bestseller, The Righteous Mind: Why Good People are Divided by Politics and Religion. At Stern, where he is the Thomas Cooley Professor of Ethical Leadership, he is applying his research on moral psychology to rethink the way business ethics is studied and is integrated into the curriculum. His goal is to draw on the best behavioral science research to create organizations that function as ethical systems, with only minimal need for directly training people to behave ethically. He co-founded the research collaboration at EthicalSystems.org. Haidt is also working on increasing viewpoint diversity in the academy via Heterodox Academy, a new collaborative project. 

Before coming to Stern, Haidt taught for sixteen years at the University of Virginia. His first book was The Happiness Hypothesis: Finding Modern Truth in Ancient Wisdom. His writings appear frequently in The New York Times and the Wall Street Journal, and he has given four TED talks. He was named one of the top global thinkers by Foreign Policy magazine and also by Prospect magazine.
