“Roy Baumeister is a pioneer in the scientific study of the self-concept and has made a series of landmark discoveries in his decades of research. He’s written hundreds of research articles and dozens of books on the subject, but now you can be in the college classroom with him. Through these engaging lectures, you will learn about yourself and human nature directly from one of the greatest social psychologists of the last 50 years.” (John Bargh, James Rowland Angell Professor of Psychology, Yale University, and author of Before You Know It: The Unconscious Reasons We Do What We Do) 

“Roy Baumeister stands out as one of the most influential psychologists of our time. His contributions to social psychology have been remarkably broad and deep. Widely recognized as the world’s leading expert on the scientific study of the self, Roy invariably takes a fresh look at basic questions about human nature and the human condition. A compelling writer and speaker, he captures the attention and imagination of scientists, students, and the broader public with a delightful combination of outstanding scholarship, deep insight, playful creativity, and contagious humor. I always make a point to hear Roy speak whenever I can, and I have yet to be disappointed. What a fun way to learn - and take home food for thought!“ (June Tangney, Ph.D., Professor of Psychology, George Mason University)
