The definitive firsthand account of the groundbreaking research of Philip Zimbardo--the basis for the award-winning film The Stanford Prison Experiment Renowned social psychologist and creator of the Stanford Prison Experiment Philip Zimbardo explores the mechanisms that make good people do bad things, how moral people can be seduced into acting immorally, and what this says about the line separating good from evil. The Lucifer Effect 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. Here, for the first time and in detail, Zimbardo tells the full story of the Stanford Prison Experiment, the 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 that of 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. Praise for The Lucifer Effect "The Lucifer Effect will change forever the way you think about why we behave the way we do--and, in particular, about the human potential for evil. This is a disturbing book, but one that has never been more necessary."--Malcolm Gladwell "An important book . . . All politicians and social commentators . . . should read this."--The Times (London) "Powerful . . . an extraordinarily valuable addition to the literature of the psychology of violence or 'evil.'"--The American Prospect "Penetrating . . . Combining a dense but readable and often engrossing exposition of social psychology research with an impassioned moral seriousness, Zimbardo challenges readers to look beyond glib denunciations of evil-doers and ponder our collective responsibility for the world's ills."--Publishers Weekly "A sprawling discussion . . . Zimbardo couples a thorough narrative of the Stanford Prison Experiment with an analysis of the social dynamics of the Abu Ghraib prison in Iraq."--Booklist "Zimbardo bottled evil in a laboratory. The lessons he learned show us our dark nature but also fill us with hope if we heed their counsel. The Lucifer Effect reads like a novel."--Anthony Pratkanis, Ph.D., professor emeritus of psychology, University of CaliforniaBinding Type: Paperback

A Smart Upgrade: Seenda’s Ergonomic Mouse Impresses
Color: Blue
As someone who has relied on a traditional wireless mouse for years, I approached the Seenda Ergonomic Mouse with cautious curiosity. I was interested in exploring ergonomic options, but unsure how significant the difference would be. To my surprise, this device made an immediate and positive impression.
The mouse is impressively quiet and highly responsive, gliding effortlessly even on a standard desk surface—so much so that I’ve done away with my mousepad altogether. Its ergonomic design provides a natural hand position, which enhances comfort during extended use, especially when browsing or working online.
One of the standout features is the inclusion of forward and backward navigation buttons, which streamline web browsing. Additionally, the conveniently placed voice control button on the top of the device adds a modern, user-friendly touch.
That said, there are a couple of areas for improvement. While the rechargeable battery is convenient, the mouse does not offer an option for traditional batteries. Furthermore, it appears to lack a clearly visible low battery indicator, which could potentially lead to unexpected downtime. However, I have yet to experience any battery-related issues during use.
Overall, the Seenda Ergonomic Mouse is a well-designed and enjoyable tool that significantly enhances the computing experience. It delivers on comfort, functionality, and performance—earning it a strong 4.8 out of 5 in my review.

Amazing mouse! Real wrist saver.
Color: Purple
I do a lots if computer work. This mouse has really relieved the strain on my wrists and hand. It connects via blue tooth or usb remote. Hold a charge for a long time. I usually charge it at least once a month, but sometime I forget and it still works for two, and use it all day long or leave it on. Easy to adapt to. Too knob adjusts volume. Scroll disc on right side and forward back button on left side.

Responsive and very comfortable!
Color: Blue, Color: Blue
My goals for a mouse are productivity and development, not gaming. Overall, I’m a really big fan of this mouse and will be keeping it as a primary mouse.
This is my first ergonomic mouse. This mouse fits perfectly in my hand and does not strain my wrist or fingers. It’s extremely comfortable to use. It worked out of the box with no additional software, a huge plus as I need it to be usable with my work laptop. The clicks are not very loud, which is great. The battery lasts a very long time. The little thing I love the most is that it came in a cute color, instead of just the standard white and black. It’s a cute, responsive, comfortable, affordable everyday house with no extra software and confirmations needed for it to work. I love it.
That being said, it has things to note. The scroll wheel is very basic, no fancy scroll features unfortunately. It’s not loud, but just basic. The volume scroll wheel is a little high, sometimes I hit it by mistake. Neither of these are big deals.
If I could change anything about this mouse, it would be swapping the volume scroll wheel to a horizontal scroll. I have 4 ways to change volume across all my desk devices, but 0 ways to scroll horizontally. Finding a vertical mouse that provides horizontal scroll functionality without additional software is nearly impossible. That feature would make this mouse a favorite for productivity IMO.

Very nice and comfortable!
Color: Pink, Color: Pink
I have carpel tunnel syndrome in both hands, and using a regular mouse hurts my hand. My friend told me to buy an ergonomic mouse, so I said sure. I've never used an ergonomic mouse before or one that is turned on the side like this one. However, I bought this one because of its high ratings. I love this mouse! It's comfortable, easy to use, and has high quality. The color is great too for all of you pink lovers.
It comes with a USB cord to charge the mouse. All you need to do to charge it is to attach the cord to your mouse and to your laptop and let it charge. You can also use the mouse while charging it. I read someone else’s review. They said that if the mouse isn’t working or communicating for whatever reason, you can still use it with its USB cord, and the mouse still words. It looks like the company put a lot of thought into making this device, and it’s well worth the cost. I'm glad I bought this; my hands don't hurt anymore, and it’s super unique.
When I started using this mouse, it took a little time to get used to using it on its side. I couldn’t fully wrap my hand around it, but I’m getting more used to it and it feels great on my hand.
The thumb buttons are for going back to the previous page you were on, or going forward to the next page. The button on the very top of the mouse is for the volume. You can also press it down, but I honestly don’t remember what that part is for. The other side of it is the left and right clicks with the scroll wheel. There’s another button above the scroll wheel also called the DPI button that allows you to quickly adjust the mouse sensitivity. You will also find the charging port on the lower part of the mouse where it divides, and there are several other buttons and the USB receiver on under the mouse for connecting the mouse t to your computer. A user manual comes with this device that guides you through the setup.
Shipping was on time and packaged nicely. I give this a 5/5 and recommend this product.
