The Rafael del Pino Foundation is organising, on 25 June 2026 at 7 p.m., the Keynote Lecture by Jonathan Haidt “The Anxious Generation” on the occasion of the publication of his latest book of the same title published by Deusto.

Jonathan Haidt is the Thomas Cooley Professor of Ethical Leadership at New York University's Stern School of Business. He received his B.A. from Yale University in 1985 and his Ph.D. from the University of Pennsylvania in 1992. Haidt is a social psychologist whose research focuses on morality - its emotional foundations, cultural variations, and developmental course. He began his career studying negative moral emotions, such as disgust, shame, and revenge, but then moved on to understudied positive moral emotions, such as admiration, awe, and moral uplift. He is the co-developer of Moral Foundations Theory, and the YourMorals.org research centre. He uses his research to help people understand and respect the moral motives of people with whom they disagree. In 2012 he was named as “one of the top 100 global thinkers” by Foreign Policy magazine and one of Prospect magazine's 65 “World Thinkers of 2013”. He is the author of more than 90 academic articles and two books: The Happiness Hypothesis: Finding Modern Truth in Ancient Wisdom, y The Righteous Mind: Why Good People are Divided by Politics and Religion. At NYU-Stern, he is focusing his research on moral psychology to business ethics, asking how companies can be structured and function in ways that are resilient to ethical failures. Haidt is also working to increase the diversity of viewpoints in academia through Heterodox Academy, his new collaborative project.
