Zim...

Best of luck to you in your retirement! Your passion for discovering new knowledge, coming up with creative teaching and research methodologies and passion for sharing what is learned had a profound impact on me.

Thank you for all of your contributions to psychology. You make great videos to help me understand the concepts, and you are very clear in your explanations.

Good luck in your future endeavors.

Dr. Zimbardo --

I am a junior at Clayton High School in Missouri, and we use your videos all the time in our psychology class!

Thanks for all your hard work!

Dr. Zimbardo:

Though I have never met you, you are somehow responsible for my love of psychology. As an undergraduate student your book, Psychology and Life, was the co-textbook used for Psychology 101. I was captivated by the simplicity with which you explained complex concepts. I read the book not as a text but as a novel or the like, and did so within 3 days.

I can honestly say that that book provided for me my first view of what psychology is -- and since then I have been hooked!!!

Happy retirement!!!!

Dear Dr. Zimbardo,

I took an introductory psychology class in high school in which we viewed many videos to help us learn. My favorite one by far was of your prison experiment. I think that you are very talented and smart. I look up to you as an esteemed psychologist, and now I might become one myself. Thanks for making great experiments and teaching children and adults like me around the world about psychology. Without this information, I would not have fallen in love with psychology.

Dear Mr. Zimbardo,

We greatly enjoyed reading your works and watching your videos. They were both helpful in giving us a greater understanding in all the different aspects of psychology.

Thank you, and good luck in your retirement. You truly made a difference in our futures!
