Sample Key Takeaways from Part 1
Number One
WEIRD is an acronym made up by Joseph Henrich, which stands for Western, Educated, Industrialized, Rich, and Democratic. WEIRD people are those who were brought up in a country with these five attributes.
Number Two
WEIRD people value individualism very highly and live by it. They tend to be control-oriented, nonconformist, and analytical. Their focus is on themselves - their attributes, accomplishments, and aspirations - rather than on their personal relationships or perceived social roles.
Number Three
Individualism makes WEIRD people see themselves as unique beings, not pawns or elements of a social structure that defines their world. They put making their own choices and their freedom above all else.
