Dr. Phil Zimbardo Part 1: The Importance of Being of Service to Others
Manage episode 355458836 series 3286012
Every single one of us has the ability to be a hero every day, says extraordinary psychologist and Professor Emeritus at Stanford University, Dr. Phil Zimbardo, who is most well known for what's been described as the Stanford Prison Experiment.
More recently, Phil has founded a nonprofit - The Heroic Imagination Project, where he works tirelessly to promote compassion in the world.
“Simply put, a hero is someone who comes to the aid of someone else in need. It could be by giving money, but typically it's helping somebody who's been in an accident, or who has some sudden medical problem that needs to be taken to the hospital.”
In part one of this episode of Into The Magic Shop, Phil talks about his extraordinary career, the work that he continues to do, and the reality that within all of us is the ability to be kind and compassionate, not only towards ourselves but others as well, and how each of us has the ability to live a more compassionate life.
