Psychology and Life (MyPsychLab Series)

10 reviews
Richard J. Gerrig, Philip G. Zimbardo

Allyn & Bacon, 2007

Very compelling
The authors' use of case studies and real-life examples makes this more than a textbook -- and much more readable than one. I found myself excited about reading each chapter. And I know I'll be looking up things in it in the future. My only quibble is that I found many copyediting errors that I hope the publisher will fix for future editions.

The Lucifer Effect: Understanding How Good People Turn Evil

55 reviews
Philip Zimbardo

Random House Trade Paperbacks, 2008

An important book of our time.
First let me disclaim that there was a section of the book I did not read because it was incorrectly bound -- it went from page 426 to page 375, but the new p. 375 was different from the one that had preceded it. [I'm guessing that the reason Amazon is out of stock while the book enjoys top 10 status is because they are trying to restock with "good" copies] Nonetheless, this book is so rich ...

Shyness: What It Is, What To Do About It

15 reviews
Philip G. Zimbardo

Da Capo Press, 1990

Of course it's dated. All classics are. It is nevertheless timeless.
Zimbardo opens his book by stating that shyness is "a universal experience" (page 14, paperback 6th ed. 1978), that nearly 80% of those polled said they had been shy at some point in their lives, half of whom had overcome it. He establishing a range of shyness from, on one end of the range a tendency toward introversion, to mid-range shyness of situational awkwardness and feeling intimidated, to ...

A Good Book
This is a good book, but I like Cialdini's "Influence" better. It is more practical.

Psychology of Terrorism

Oxford University Press, USA, 2006

During the past decade, we have witnessed a dramatic transformation in the nature and uses of terrorism. In the 70s, it was often repeated that terrorists "want a lot of people watching, not a lot of people dead"; today, it is more accurate to say that terrorists want a lot of people dead, and even more people crippled by fear and grief. A major strategic intent of modern terrorists is to use larger scale physical attacks to cause stress in the ...

The Lucifer Effect Understanding How Good People Turn Evil
Philip Zimbardo

Random House, 2007

"The Lucifer Effect raises a fundamental question about the nature of human nature: How is it possible for ordinary, average, even good people to become perpetrators of evil? In trying to understand unusual, or aberrant behavior, we often err in focusing exclusively on the inner determinants of genes, personality, and character, as we also tend to ignore what may be the critical catalyst for behavior change in the external Situation or in the ...

Violence Workers: Police Torturers and Murderers Reconstruct Brazilian Atrocities

3 reviews
Martha Knisely Huggins, Mika Haritos-Fatouros, ...

University of California Press, 2002

Police Torturers Examined
An outstanding book, that took courage to put together-- telling with credibility and compassion about the torture to which the Brazilian police & military subjected citizens whom they saw as on the "wrong" side politically. The authors bring to light an evil we thought went out of fashion with the Inquisition -- but here it is again in the 20th century. They make it clear that the propensity to ...
