Эта аудиокнига о том, что делает нас русскими, а американцев — американцами. Чем мы отличаемся друг от друга в восприятии мира и себя? Как думаем и как реагируем на происходящее? И что сделало нас такими, какие мы есть? Известный журналист-международник Михаил Таратута провел в США 12 лет. Его программа «Америка с Михаилом Таратутой» во многом открывала нам эту страну. В книге автор показывает, как несходство исторических путей и культурных кодов русских и американцев определяет различия в быту, карьере, подходах к бизнесу и политике.

Мы—это то, что мы едим. Но мы—ещё и способ добычи пищи. Миллионы лет наши предки искали фрукты, ловили рыб, охотились на птиц и зверей, а иногда пытались и сами не стать чьим-то обедом. Вся наша жизнь вертится вокруг еды. Даже чувство удивления, способы общения, ритуалы—всё это либо проистекает из желания поесть, либо сопровождается пиром. Как пращуры вели свою борьбу за обед—об этом расскажут 50 невыдуманных историй. Современная наука может многое рассказать о жизни в прошлом.

Before temples and official rituals, there were places people avoided after sunset. In the hills of ancient Anatolia, long before Rome ruled the Mediterranean, villagers gathered around stones they believed were alive. They were not there to recite prayers. They came because something unsettled them, and gathering together made it bearable. Drums carried across the valleys. Some people swayed, some watched, some stayed at the edge. A presence was felt before anyone gave it a name. Later it would be called Cybele. This book follows the Great Mother through the lives of ordinary people.

This book offers a personal inquiry, not a political treatise, into the consequences of allowing labels to define both individuals and societies. It asks: What remains when these labels are stripped away? What is the danger in neglecting to examine our core identity beneath them? My exploration culminated in a singular insight: unexamined collective labels profoundly influence not only the self but entire communities.

Der Sozialpsychologe Jonathan Haidt zeigt: Die Antwort liegt in unserer Moral – die weit weniger auf Rationalität und Logik gründet als auf Intuition und Sozialtrieb. Moral bringt uns dazu, individuelle Interessen zu überwinden und mit anderen zu kooperieren; zugleich aber macht sie uns blind für die Perspektiven anderer Gruppen. So haben sich im Lauf der Evolution und Geschichte zwischen Gemeinschaften und Kulturen sehr unterschiedliche moralische Intuitionen herausgebildet.
