Lucifer Effect, The : Understanding How Good People Turn Evil

---

Overview: What makes good people do bad things? The author, renowned social psychologist has an answer, and in this book, the author explains how - and why - we are all susceptible to the lure of "the dark side". Drawing on examples from history as well as his own trailblazing research, the author, the creator of the Stanford Prison Experiment, details how situational forces and group dynamics can work in concert to make monsters out of decent men and women. By illuminating the causes behind this disturbing metamorphosis, and by highlighting the ways in which individuals can resist the temptation to give in to evil, the author enables us to better understand a variety of phenomena, from corporate malfeasance to the prisoner abuse and torture in Abu Ghraib to organized genocide. This is a book that forces us to reexamine what we are capable of doing, individually and collectively. Like Hannah Arendt's Eichmann in Jerusalem and Steven Pinker's The Blank Slate, this book is a shocking, engrossing study that will change the way we view human behavior.
