In “Being WEIRD How Cdture Shapes the Mind,” Watters discusses Joe Henrich’s
research and conclusions on the effect of culture differences on individual tendencies-
Part of what makes Henrich’s findings so interesting to Watters and to the world of
scholarship is that it challenges long held ideas in the fields of economics, psychology,
anthropology, etc. At the same time, Watters is reporting Henrich’s work and academic
impact while extending the argument to discuss its implications and relevance to the
average, non-scholarly reader.
