The Hero Workshop

Finding The Hero Inside

Phil Zimbardo interviewed by Guy Kawasaki

Posted by Matt Langdon on April 26, 2007

Guy Kawasaki has interviewed Phil Zimbardo about “The Lucifer Effect” (which I’m still waiting for from Amazon as no shops here had a copy).  It’s a great introduction to the ideas in the book and finishes, as the book does, with a taste of heroism.

“I have to believe that by creating a generation of such ordinary heroes is our best defense against evil, whether on the battlefield, in prisons, or corporate headquarters.”

He also talks about a desire to get children to become heroes-in-waiting so that when we need a hero, there will be plenty around.  I’m interested that he’s keyed on children.  I can’t wait to get the book.  I’ll write more once I’ve read it.
