“Beyond Heroes and Villains” at Psychology Today 1-33

Since August 1, 2012, I’ve posted 33 articles at PsychologyToday.com in my ongoing “Beyond Heroes and Villains” column. (I know it’s called a blog, but look up the word’s origin. It’s not a log of my life. Online column is more accurate.) Some of these have the advantage of time, having accumulated views for a year and a half. Some of the newer ones are rapidly changing ranks, like the most recent post “Superman’s True Disguise: The Power of Social Invisibility,” but here’s where things stand today.
