The polls were wrong - this book was right!

Election results are announced. Half the country is elated. The other half are more than unhappy - they are morally stressed. They will be until the next election. It doesn't have to be this way. It's no secret that the loathing, even hatred, between the political left and right are increasing. Existing explanations are superficial, and they have not provided solutions. And so, the problem persists.

What if our political leaning to the left or the right stemmed from our genes? And what if we can do nothing to change this? The Moral Stress of Nations presents both the root causes of destructive political partisanship and presents practical solutions to lower stress and setting about solving humankind's most pressing problems. The scope of this book includes the world's iconic democracies as well as the poorest authoritarian states.

Thought provoking analysis of polarized society

This is a deeply informative books that strives to explain the current societal divide in the USA and in the UK. Fraser identifies the characteristics of 2 primary tribes - the “Builder” (Conservatives) and the “Nurturer” (Liberals). And he identifies these trends of “moral stress” throughout history. The writer has packed lots of information and good research into this book.
The book concludes with some good advice for different democracies and companies, and on how to talk with people in the other “tribe.” To quote another reviewer, “I see this book as an effort to create an understanding of moral stress and how to lower it between family members, friends, communities and within countries.”
