Character Disturbance: The Phenomenon of Our Age

Politicians are notorious for telling lies and weaving together
half-true and divisive narratives in order to gain notoriety,
raise money, and win elections. There are two main reasons people
get into politics and activism. The first is to make a positive
difference in the world whatever that person believes that to be.
The second is to benefit themselves. Most politicians have some
combination of both, but some are primarily in it for themselves.
Whether it’s aggrandizement, power, or money, how do we
distinguish between those who are ill-motivated and those with
more altruistic characteristics? Dr. George Simon is an
internationally-recognized expert on manipulators and other
problem characters and the author of 3 bestselling books. He’s
made appearances on several major television and radio programs
