There is a new 23-minute video just launched of my TED conference talk on the psychology of evil and the psychology of everyday heroes:
TITLE: Phil Zimbardo: How ordinary people become monsters ... or heroes
DESCRIPTION: Psychologist Phil Zimbardo knows how easy it is for nice people to turn bad -- he ran the notorious Stanford Prison Experiment, where regular kids willingly became torturers. Zimbardo was an expert witness at the Abu Ghraib trials, and shares his insight -- and previously unseen photos -- from that horror. But now he's also studying the flip side -- how easy it is to become a hero, and how we can help our kids rise to that challenge.
