The Great Courses: Understanding the Dark Side of Human Nature
This is a lecture series covering a number of aspects of darkness in human nature. It starts with an exploration of good and evil and what that means when applied to people.
Each half-hour lecture focuses on a topic, typically exploring the meaning of that topic, how that topic affects people in their day-to-day life and some advice to help you react, or at least think, if you are affected.
Particularly interesting, for me, where the talks on dark thoughts, self deception and the elimination of anger.
The topics are covered with a deliberate definition of the terms and topics, giving each half-hour the feel of a lecture, it is not light listening, but I don’t feel that it really covered what I was hoping for. That said, I’m not sure how you would cover what I was hoping for.
