ABSTRACT
In this presentation, I describe a variety of research and psychological concepts across many domains in which I have been the pioneering investigator. Beginning with original research on creating evil, in my Stanford Prison Experiment, and then ending with a call for creating new-generation heroes who will help oppose the rise of right-wing totalitarian governments globally, it applies psychological wisdom to real-world problems. This personal journey also takes readers into original research on shyness, time perspectives, the negative impact of video gaming on young men, and finally introduces the Heroic Imagination Project, and its revolutionary educational programme, designed to inspire and train ordinary people to become everyday heroes.
