| Philip Zimbardo |
| Phil Zimbardo is perhaps the most distinguished psychologist alive today, having served as President of the American Psychological Association, designed and narrated the award winning PBS series, Discovering Psychology, and published several hundred professional articles and fifty books. A professor emeritus at Stanford University, Zimbardo has spent nearly 50 years teaching and studying psychology. His areas of focus include time perspective, shyness, evil and madness. In addition to many textbooks, Phil has also written successful trade books, such as Shyness: What It Is, What to Do about It, (Addison Wesley, 1977/ Perseus Books, 1989). Its engaging, personal writing style will be used as a model for this book. Most recently, Phil has written, The Lucifer Effect: Understanding How Good People Turn Evil, to be published by Random House (US & UK), April 2007. Phil received his Ph.D. in psychology from Yale University. |
