Vivere e Amare. Guarire dal passato, abbracciare il presente, creare il futuro ideale

Con 'Vivere e amare' Philip Zimbardo e Rosemary Sword offrono alcuni strumenti per cogliere un'immagine migliore della nostra vita, consentendoci di lasciarsi andare, di 'guarire' dal passato, di apprezzare e abbracciare il presente e di creare un futuro migliore per noi e per le persone che amiamo. Basandosi sulla terapia della prospettiva temporale gli autori ci fanno capire come spostare il focus mentale dal passato negativo al presente e dagli eventi negativi a quelli positivi per avere una visione più equilibrata della nostra vita. Grazie al racconto di esperienze di vita reale questo volume mostra come la prospettiva temporale possa aiutare chi soffre di stress, ansia o depressione a superare le esperienze relative al passato negativo - dalle relazioni tossiche al bullismo - per indirizzarsi verso un futuro più positivo, riducendo i disturbi non solo nell'immediato ma anche nel lungo termine. L'approccio terapeutico della Terapia della Prospettiva Temporale, sviluppato in collaborazione con Rosemary Sword, è stato presentato in The time cure (La cura del tempo, Giunti, 2019), dove era rivolto in particolare al superamento dei disturbi da stress post-traumatici. © 2017 Philip G.

Man, Interrupted: Why Young Men are Struggling & What We Can Do About It

We are facing a not-so-brave new world; a world in which young men are getting left behind. PHILIP ZIMBARDO and NIKITA COULOMBE argue that an addiction to video games and online porn have created a generation of shy, socially awkward, emotionally removed, and risk-averse young men who are unable (and unwilling) to navigate the complexities and risks inherent to real-life relationships, school, and employment. Taking a critical look at a problem that is tearing at families and societies everywhere, Man, Interrupted suggests that our young men are suffering from a new form of "arousal addiction" and introduces a bold new plan for getting them back on track. Filled with anecdotes, fascinating research, perceptive analysis, and concrete suggestions for change, Man, Interrupted is a book for our time. It is a book that informs, challenges, and ultimately inspires. "Man, Interrupted is the most important book I've read in years, given that it is thoroughly researched, well organized, beautifully written, and outlines a problem that affects at least half the population of the country, if not everyone. Even more, it identifies the causes and suggests practical solutions. This book should be read by legislators, judges, politicians, parents, spouses, and, well, men...all of them." -MICHAEL SHERMER, publisher of Skeptic magazine, columnist at Scientific American, author of The Moral Arc "A compassionate look at the phenomenon of young men disappearing into the virtual worlds of videogaming and porn-to the detriment of everyone." -GARY WILSON, author of Your Brain on Porn "Dr. Zimbardo bravely and wisely calls attention to the spreading crisis afflicting many of America's young men." -ROY BAUMEISTER, author of Is There Anything Good About Men? and Willpower

The Lucifer Effect: Understanding How Good People Turn Evil

What makes good people do bad things? How can moral people be seduced to act immorally? Where is the line separating good from evil, and who is in danger of crossing it? Renowned social psychologist Philip Zimbardo has the answers, and in The Lucifer Effect he explains how—and the myriad reasons why—we are all susceptible to the lure of "the dark side." Drawing on examples from history as well as his own trailblazing research, Zimbardo details how situational forces and group dynamics can work in concert to make monsters out of decent men and women. Zimbardo is perhaps best known as the creator of the Stanford Prison Experiment. Here, for the first time and in detail, he tells the full story of this landmark study, in which a group of college-student volunteers was randomly divided into guards and inmates and then placed in a mock prison environment. Within a week the study was abandoned, as ordinary college students were transformed into either brutal, sadistic guards or emotionally broken prisoners. By illuminating the psychological causes behind such disturbing metamorphoses, Zimbardo enables us to better understand a variety of harrowing phenomena, from corporate malfeasance to organized genocide to how once upstanding American soldiers came to abuse and torture Iraqi detainees in Abu Ghraib. He replaces the long-held notion of the "bad apple" with the "bad barrel"—the idea that the social setting and the system contaminate the individual, rather than the other way around. This is a book that dares to hold a mirror up to mankind, showing us that we might not be who we think we are. While forcing us to reexamine what we are capable of doing when caught up in the crucible of behavioral dynamics, though, Zimbardo also offers hope. We are capable of resisting evil, he argues, and can even teach ourselves to act heroically. Like Hannah Arendt's Eichmann in Jerusalem and Steven Pinker's The Blank Slate, The Lucifer Effect is a shocking, engrossing study that will change the way we view human behavior.
