Integrity, Part 3 Preview: Power Tools to Predators

A popular self-help model says integrity is keeping your word, and has nothing to do with being a good person. In this short preview, Chris Shelton explains what that means when the model ends up in the hands of people who intend harm: it isn’t a corruption of the tool, it’s the same tool. And it’s how people stay for years in environments that hurt them, believing they’re surrounded by good people. This is a preview of Part 3 of Anne Peterson and Chris’s deep dive on the integrity model in Michael C. Jensen’s 2009 paper, “Integrity: Without It Nothing Works,” taught for decades in Landmark Worldwide and across the self-help world. The full Part 3 includes a story about a sexual assault disclosure, with a content warning and support resources. Part 1 is available free. Parts 2 through 4 continue on Beyond the Line, Anne’s learning studio on Patreon, with a membership or as a single-series purchase.
