Why do good people do bad things?

We’ve all done something bad at some point in our lives, but why? This week, we explore how we can quantify a ‘bad’ thing, what’s going on in our brains when we do something wrong and why sometimes it feels really good to do something we know is a little bit naughty. We also look at how group mentality affects our behaviour and Rick shares a truly awful story about a friend known only as ‘Evil Damien’... Special thanks to today’s expert, Dr Jack Lewis. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
