Famed psychologist Dr. Philip Zimbardo looks at how heroism can be ‘democratized’

From time to time, we do an update of our Hero Reports series — our highlight of everyday acts of courage. We recently heard about something called the ?Heroic Imagination Project.? The man behind it, Dr. Philip Zimbardo, author of “The Lucifer Effect: Understanding How Good People Turn Evil, is famous for his theories on the subject and served as an expert witness for a U.S. military police reservist involved with mistreatment at Abu Ghraib. We ask him about his latest work, which seeks to ?democratize? acts of heroism and good deeds. Guest: Dr. Philip Zimbardo, Professor Emeritus of Psychology at Stanford University, and past president of the American Psychological Association
