10 Steps to Becoming an Everyday Hero

10 Steps to Becoming an Everyday Hero

An everyday hero is a person who is ready to help others in need and who defends moral principles regardless of the potential cost or danger. Why is it difficult to face challenging situations? How can we strengthen the habit of making courageous decisions in tough circumstances? Professor Philip Zimbardo, world-renowned psychologist, holder of an honorary doctorate from SWPS University, talks about everyday heroism and shows that anyone can be a hero.
