The Lucifer Effect: Understanding How Good People Turn Evil by Philip G. Zimbardo

5.0

A deep exploration of how and why good people do bad things. Essentially, this is an exploration of what people generally call "evil" and how it is rooted in a combination of genetic predispositions (in humans in general) along with social structures that evoke the worst in us. This is a dark mirror of a book. I think it's profoundly important that more people understand these ideas. This book helped reshape my understanding of humanity.
