About this episode
Andy Schmitt interviews Dr. Keith Campbell about narcissism, hypnosis, and the implications for the future of society.
In this episode I talked with Dr. Keith Campbell. Dr. Campbell is a Professor of Psychology at the University of Georgia, is the author of more than 200 papers and several books including the latest, The New Science of Narcissism. Dr. Campbell has appeared in most major media outlets, including the Today Show, CNN, and the Joe Rogan Experience. He has given a TEDx talk and was the educator behind the the TED Ed lesson on narcissism. Dr. Campbell is also co-founder of Wealth Science Analytics, a boutique psychological consulting firm dedicated to combining state-of-the-art research, AI, machine learning, and deep knowledge about the inter-workings of high-performance teams. We discussed his class on Peterson Academy on Narcissism and how to tell if your pastor or social worker is a narcissist. We also talked about how to analyze the personality of Jesus and how the evangelical church has aimed to feminize Christ over the past 60 years. We discussed hypnosis and propaganda and the future of Western civilization in the age of Artificial Intelligence and social unrest. I hope you enjoy!
