"Good vs. Evil, Light vs. Dark Triad: The Evolution of Morality"
was part of a full-day seminar I gave at the Intercontinental
Resort Bali on 1 June 2019. In this keynote talk to a group of
private coaching clients, I give my personal perspective on the
age-old question of "Why be moral?" informed by evolutionary
psychology, Asian and Western philosophy, clinical psychology, and
life experience.
<br></br>
The talk begins with an examination of the Light Triad scale
proposed by Scott Barry Kaufman as a counterpoint to the Dark
Triad. I then argue that we experience the most enjoyable and
meaningful benefits of life in direct proportion to our moral
goodness and in inverse proportion to the extent of our Dark Triad
traits.
