Psychopaths and Superheroes

We talk a lot about psychopaths - but rarely discuss their polar
opposites, super altruists. These are people who go to extreme
lengths to help others - even though their acts of kindness might
cost them time, money or expose them to physical danger. These
folk are also happier than the rest of us.


A super altruist once saved the life of psychology professor
Abigail Marsh - so she devoted her career to understanding what
drives these amazing and happy people and how we call all learn
to be more like them.
