"Each and every seemingly ordinary person on this planet is capable of committing heroic acts." ~ Dr. Philip Zimbardo HeroicImagination.org.

“Most people want to take effective action in challenging situations, they just don’t know how.” -Dr. Philip Zimbardo (Ferne Millen Photography)

A professor emeritus at Stanford University, creator of The Stanford Prison Experiment, former President of the American Psychological Association, and award-winning designer and narrator of the 26-part PBS series, Discovering Psychology, Dr. Zimbardo has spent over 50 years teaching and studying psychology. Aptly described at his keynote address at the 2017 Evolution of Psychotherapy Conference as “Mr. Psychology” by Dr. Jeffrey Zeig, the breadth, depth, and impact of Zimbardo’s contributions to the field of Psychology and to society is unsurpassed. His work is reflected in his 60+ books and over 600 professional and popular articles and chapters, among them: Shyness, The Lucifer Effect, The Time Cure, The Time Paradox and most recently Man, Interrupted.

Dr. Zimbardo currently lectures worldwide and is actively working to promote his non-profit The Heroic Imagination Project.

EVERYDAY HEROISM CHAMPION
Deeply compassionate about the human condition and the implications of our behavior on the lives of others, Zimbardo’s current research looks at the psychology of heroism, asking the poignant question: “What pushes some people to become perpetrators of evil, while others act heroically on behalf of those in need?” His work offers a creative empowering spin on turning the negative social processes of conformity, obedience, and the bystander effect upside down.

“THE POWER OF ONE: Be there first; if you don’t act, who will?”
~Dr. Philip Zimbardo

Having grown up in a ghetto in South Bronx in a poor Sicilian family, he witnessed first-hand how poverty and other social pressures can unfortunately lead "good" kids into doing "bad" things.

Stanford Prison Study (1971)
Dr. Phillip Zimbardo is one of the most influential social psychologists of our time for his ground-breaking and disturbing discoveries of the infamous Stanford Prison Study. What his research project (along with Dr. Stanley Milgram’s electric shock obedience experiment) unveiled about the human potential for cruelty and unquestioned obedience to authority was and continues to be a wake-up call for all of us.

These experiments unequivocally revealed how good people can do things that are evil. Zimbardo named this process “The Lucifer Effect” – a concept that has powerful implications on not only the individual, but on an institutional and societal level as well. Having grown up living in a South Bronx ghetto in a poor Sicilian family, he witnessed first-hand how poverty and other social pressures and disadvantages can lead “good” kids into doing “bad” things.

In creating and implementing this study, Zimbardo was himself brought to his knees as he personally discovered how easily the vortex of evil can tempt and bring down even the best-intentioned psychology researchers themselves, demonstrating how no one is immune from the capacity for evil. This experience forever humbled Zimbardo and ignited his passion for cultivating the capacity for kindness, courage and heroism as much as possible and became the seed for his later founding of The Heroic Imagination Project.
