5.0 out of 5 stars A must read!, 18 Jul 2009
This review is from: The Lucifer Effect: Understanding How Good People Turn Evil (Paperback)
If you are in any way interested in human behaviour, modern psychology, or social science or even just in the question of good and evil you should read this book. When I read this book I was not studying psychology in any in depth way and credit must be given to Philip Zimbardo for making this a very accessible book comprehendible to any layman, but at the same time backing his findings and theory's up with countless examples and evidence. The book starts with a novel like account of the Stanford Prison Experiment continues into what dispositional, social and systemic factors can affect human behaviour, followed by an in depth account of the abu ghraib scandal and finishes on a high with a positive approach to heroism in humanity. Everyone should read this book once in their lives; it would certainly help people notice what influences are bombarding them everyday. A must read. Useful if you are going into higher education, it you are already an academic and even if you are just interested psychology.
