How should we\nrespond when people hurt each other—or themselves? And has science made guilt\nobsolete?\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nNavigating the psychological and biological terrain of addiction, antisocial\nbehavior, and violence, Harden confronts the disorienting ways science\nunsettles our understanding of wrongdoing and choice. In doing so, she asks us\nnot to absolve but to reckon differently with notions of fairness and blame. A\nrevelatory inquiry into the uneasy space where human behavior meets inherited\nbiology, \u003ci\u003eOriginal Sin\u003c\/i\u003e challenges us to imagine a more humane\nvision of accountability—for ourselves and for one another.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eKathryn Paige Harden\u003c\/b\u003e is a professor in the\ndepartment of psychology at the University of Texas at Austin, where she leads\nthe Developmental Behavior Genetics lab. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eHarden received her PhD in clinical psychology from the\nUniversity of Virginia and completed her clinical internship at McLean\nHospital\/Harvard Medical School. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eShe has been honored by the American Psychological\nAssociation for her distinguished scientific contributions to the study of\ngenetics and human individual differences.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"TIMES DISTRIBUTION PTE LTD","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44919570890959,"sku":"9798217197828","price":36.95,"currency_code":"SGD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0574\/5662\/3823\/files\/download_038225a9-2aea-4a95-9bd1-6ab6ab81d125.jpg?v=1773736511","url":"https:\/\/popular.com.sg\/products\/original-sin","provider":"Popular Book Company Pte Ltd","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
