Beyond Bad: How Obsolete Morals Are Holding Us Back

Chris Paley

'Brilliantly unillusioned thinking...  It could hardly be more necessary in these all-too-moralistic times' - James Marriott, THE TIMESMorals have held empires together, kept soldiers marching under fire, fed the hungry, passed laws, built walls, welcomed immigrants, destroyed careers and governed our sex lives.  But what if morality's all meaningless rubbish, a malfunctioning relic of our evolutionary past? Unthink, comes Beyond Bad, which shows morals hinder us from achieving what we want to achieve.  Beyond Bad is the book that 'does for morals what Dawkins did for God'.

Chris Paley

Dr Chris Paley has an MSci and a PhD from the University of Cambridge. He is the author of Unthink: Why You Don't Think The Way You Think You Think.

In Chris's view the greatest scientific leap of his generation is throwing off common-sense assumptions about the mind: what it's doing for us why we have morals and how we make decisions. This leaves scientists free to overturn millennia of fruitless theorising and truly explain why we are what we are and think what we think.

He has a wife three blameless daughters and an imaginary but mischievous cat. Chris might believe himself to be thoroughly amoral but his wife thinks him 'a good man'.
