Grandstanding
The Use and Abuse of Moral Talk
Justin Tosi
This book delves into the prevalent issue of grandstanding in public discourse today. The authors explain how we make bold claims and exaggerate to appear morally superior and how this behavior is detrimental to meaningful discourse. Supported by research in psychology, economics, and political science, the authors offer insight on why we grandstand and how to avoid it. With contemporary examples spanning the political spectrum, they suggest ways to re-build a public square worth participating in.

Super interesting book. If there was to be something like a social network participants manual then this would contribute a good deal. Moral grandstanding is part of human nature but can be counterproductive. Lots to think about. @JustinTosi @BrandonWarmke – source
