"I started studying shyness in adults in 1972. Shyness operates at so many different levels. Out of that research came the Stanford shyness clinic in 1977."
Research
"Human behavior is incredibly pliable, plastic."
Behavior

People
"The line between good and evil is permeable and almost anyone can be induced to cross it when pressured by situational forces."
Evil

Family

Being
