BOOKS / DR. JARIK CONRAD
Two books.
One argument.
Both books explore that question from different sides: the choices we make and the systems we live within.
The Fragile Mind
Dr. Jarik Conrad examines the psychological forces behind America’s most persistent disparities. Drawing on neuroscience, behavioral economics and his upbringing in East St. Louis, he explores why smart, well-intentioned people make decisions that harm themselves and others—and what it takes to change.

In Search of Humanity
Humans are capable of remarkable kindness, but our evolutionary wiring can also produce astonishing cruelty. Dr. Conrad traces social and economic inequality, broken government promises, and reform efforts undermined by the industries they were meant to challenge.
