A People's History of Britain tells the story of the small northern islands off the coast of Europe that became the world's largest empire. The book combines compelling narrative history with helpful chronology, highlighting kings, queens, battles, and heroic individuals who created turning points in history. It also includes anecdotes about British scientists, explorers, soldiers, traders, writers, and artists.
In this book, Joseph Henrich explores how Western, Educated, Industrialized, Rich, and Democratic (WEIRD) populations developed their unique psychological profiles. He argues that changes in family structures, marriage, and religion, particularly influenced by the Roman Catholic Church, led to the emergence of WEIRD psychology. This psychology is characterized by individualism, self-obsession, control-orientation, nonconformity, and analytical thinking, which contrast with the more group-focused and shame-driven cultures of non-Western societies. Henrich uses research from anthropology, psychology, economics, and evolutionary biology to explain how these psychological differences contributed to the industrial revolution and the global expansion of Europe[1][4][5].
