The moment you deny the darkness within, you surrender your capacity to change it.
In this video we map the psychology of evil: the mental mechanics that turn ordinary people into sources of harm, the social forces that enable destructive behavior, and the practical inner work that breaks the cycle.
We translate complex theory—Nietzsche, Machiavelli, attribution biases, moral disengagement—into a 30-day Shadow Work Experiment you can follow to increase self-awareness, and reclaim agency over your choices.
WHAT YOU'LL LEARN:
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
• The three psychological engines of destructive behavior — fundamental attribution error, just-world bias, and moral disengagement — and how they operate in everyday life.
• How childhood lessons and hypervigilance shape aggressive defensive strategies and why those strategies eventually undermine relationships and goals.
• Concrete signs that “darkness” is emerging in you or others (gaslighting, dehumanization, blame shifting, deference to situational excuses).
• Step-by-step Shadow Work practices: a 30-day journaling protocol (10 minutes/day), active listening drills, ownership techniques, and empathy exercises.
• How to respond to accusations strategically—move from defensiveness to accountability without self-destructive denial.
• Practical prevention: how professionals use situational insight to design interventions that reduce harm and enable rehabilitation.
• How to integrate transformed self-awareness into daily life with a 5-minute alignment ritual to keep actions consistent with values.
