As the world gets smaller, hotter, and flatter, people from different cultures are colliding like never before. However, many modern conflicts stem from the same root cause: the tension between people using the independent, separate, and in-control side of their selves, versus people using the interdependent, connected, and adjusting side. We also show how people can nudge their cultures to call forth their best selves. By knowing when and how to use our different selves, we may not just survive, but thrive in the 21st century.

Each of us is endowed with an inheritance—a set of evolved biases and cultural tools that shape every facet of our behavior. For countless generations, this inheritance has taken us to ever greater heights. But now, for the first time, it’s failing us.

In Inheritance, renowned anthropologist Harvey Whitehouse offers a sweeping account of how our biases have shaped humanity’s past and imperiled its future.

Ambition is a dominant force in for human civilization, driving its greatest achievements and most horrific abuses. Our striving has brought art, airplanes, and antibiotics, as well as wars, genocide, and despotism. This mixed record raises obvious concerns about how we can channel ambition in the most productive directions.

We take the seven-day week for granted, rarely asking what anchors it or what it does to us. Yet weeks are not dictated by the natural order. They are, in fact, an artificial construction of the modern world. With meticulous archival research that draws on a wide array of sources - including newspapers, restaurant menus, theater schedules, marriage records, school curricula, folklore, housekeeping guides, courtroom testimony, and diaries - David Henkin reveals how our current devotion to weekly rhythms emerged in the United States during the first half of the 19th century.

In Finding Truth in Fiction, two media psychologists reveal that there's much more to our desire to seek out stories in film, TV, and books than simple diversion - fiction can help us find truth in our real lives.

Though some assume that interest in a fictional world is a sign of psychological trouble, the authors enthusiastically disagree.

Narratives about decision making are often inadvertently tailored primarily to men. Meanwhile, narratives about women in business overlook decision making or offer advice that is unhelpful and can even backfire. How Women Decide fills this gap.

Temperature contributed to our evolution - our upright walking, our loss of fur, and our big brains - and now continues to affect our lives in unexpected ways, and the link from a warm mug to our emotions is anything but straightforward. Studies have shown, for example, that a chilly deliberation room can predispose a jury to convict and that a cold day can make us more likely to buy a house. Our mind-body connection works the other way, too: Thinking about friendly or caring people can make us feel warmer.

The renowned social psychologist delves deep into the fraught relationship between genders, drawing upon the influential insights of Bachofen, Freud, Marx, and Briffault.

Was als linke Identitätspolitik einst progressiv gedacht war, hat längst die Schwelle zu einer militanten Ideologie überschritten, analysiert die Psychologin Esther Bockwyt. Auf Basis einer pauschalen Einteilung von Menschen in Opfergruppen und Privilegierte wird abgeleitet, wer was wann sagen oder tun darf. So kritisch wie ausgewogen und vor allem fernab der schrillen Tonlagen des Feuilletons erfasst Bockwyt das Thema Wokeness erstmals aus psychologischer Perspektive und fragt: Wie ist eine "woke Psyche" verfasst, wenn Narzissmus, Gewissenhaftigkeit oder Aggression ein gesundes Maß überschreiten?
