Renowned social psychologist Philip Zimbardo has an answer, and in \u003ci\u003eThe Lucifer Effect \u003c\/i\u003ehe 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, Zimbardo, 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 into evil, Zimbardo enables us to better understand a variety of phenomena, from corporate malfeasance to the prisoner abuse and torture in Abu Ghraib to organized genocide. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eA shocking, engrossing study that will change the way we view human behavior, \u003ci\u003eThe Lucifer Effect\u003c\/i\u003e forces us to reexamine what we are capable of doing, individually and collectively. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003eWINNER OF THE WILLIAM JAMES BOOK AWARD\u003c\/b\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003ePhilip G.
