The Lucifer Priciple is a revolutionary work that explores the intricate relationships among genetics, human behavior, and culture to put forth the thesis that “evil” is a by-product of nature’s strategies for creation and that it is woven into our most basic biological fabric. Though this argument is not a new one—it has been brought forth by such great historical figures as St. Paul, Thomas Hobbes, and Raymond Dart—Howard Bloom here takes fresh data from a variety of sources and shapes it into a lens through which listeners can reinterpret the human experience.

Editorial Reviews

Editorial Reviews

“Unlike anything you’ve ever read before. An act of astonishing intellectual courage.” —Leon Uris, New York Times bestselling author
“Readers will be mesmerized by the mirror Bloom holds to the human condition and dumbfounded by the fusillade of eclectic data that arrives with the swiftness and intensity of a furious tennis volley. His style is effortless, engaging, witty, and brisk…He draws on a dozen years of research into a jungle of scholarly fields…and meticulously supports every bit of information.” —Washington Post
“A revolutionary vision of the relationship between psychology and history, The Lucifer Principle will have a profound impact on our concepts of human nature. It is astonishing that a book of such importance could be such a pleasure to read.” —Elizabeth F. Loftus, author of Mindfulness
“The Lucifer Principle is a tour de force, a brilliant and seminal work.” —Sol Gordon, PhD, founder of the Institute for Family Research and Education
