Dr. Christopher Burris is a Professor of Psychology at St. Jerome's University, one of the six faculties that makes up the University of Waterloo. Over the years, he has dabbled in religion/spirituality, the self, sexuality, and motivation and emotion. He is the author of Evil in Mind: The Psychology of Harming Others.

In this episode, we focus on Evil in Mind. We talk about the criteria people use to label something as “evil”. We discuss the myth of pure evil. We talk about why and how people deflect the label of evil. We discuss why people harm others, and some individual differences. We talk about the relationship between hate and evil. We discuss sadism, and evil in groups. Finally, we talk about some common misconceptions about evil.
