The conference will also feature the legendary Dr. Phillip Zimbardo, best known for the other side of the equation—the psychology of why good people do bad things. We’re looking forward to seeing Zimbardo and Seligman together on the same stage. (His talk on the Abu Ghraib scandals can be seen in our free video library here:) http://www.cgu.edu/pages/4435.asp
