Las personas más raras del mundo

A bold account of how the co-evolution of psychology and culture created the distinctive Western mind that has profoundly shaped the modern world. Maybe you're weird or WEIRD, an acronym for someone raised in a Western, educated, industrialized, wealthy, democratic society. If so, you are quite peculiar psychologically. Unlike most of the world, weirdos are highly individualistic, self-obsessed, control-oriented, maverick, and analytical. They focus on themselves over their relationships and social roles. Henrich explains the origins and evolution of family structures, marriage, and religion, as well as the profound impact of these cultural transformations on human psychology. Provocative and engaging, The World's Weirdest People explores how culture, institutions, and psychology shape each other, and what this means for both who we are as individuals and the large-scale social, political, and economic forces that drive the history.
