“Powerful insights that will change how you see the world (and hopefully make you a little less angry).”

“A riveting read on the roots of our bitterest conflicts—and the remedies for them. One of the leading lights in moral psychology overturns widespread assumptions about why we’re divided and reveals how we can come together.”

“Moral outrage ruins friendships, families, democracies, and lives. Where does it come from, how much is too much, and what can be done about it? In this deeply thoughtful and highly readable book, Kurt Gray offers provocative answers to these and other important questions about the endless seething to with Americans are becoming increasingly addicted.”

“Broad in scope and deep in insight, Outraged manages the rare feat of leading you to understand both yourself, and those you might be outraged by, better. Eye-opening, humanizing, and ultimately hopeful, Outraged gives you practical tools for living more peacefully in polarized times. Essential reading for anyone who feels outraged, or knows lots of people who do!”

“Outrage has become our culture’s poorly chosen wallpaper: it’s ugly, everywhere, and all we can do is get used to it. In this brilliant book, Kurt Gray challenges us to think differently. A leader in the science of morality, Gray convincingly paints a new picture of outrage, as a response to harm. This new lens can revolutionize our perception of conflict and what we can do about it. Human care has been contorted into anger and even hatred, but by applying more curiosity, we can rediscover common values.”

“A well-supported study of the neuroscience behind one of today’s most pressing social issues.”
