I want to share one of the greatest documentaries I have ever seen with you. It’s called The Century of the Self and it has an unbelievable density of insights into psychology, psychotherapy, social sciences in general, advertising, public relations, propaganda, manipulation, marketing, influence, politics, capitalism, self-expression and in a certain way even the meaning of life. It’s a kind of history of the 20th century starting from twenties through the prism of the development of the psychological ideas and their influence on the society. Highly recommended!

Alternatively, you can download the whole documentary from torrents.

Do you know of any films comparable to this one?

    I don't know of any comparable documentaries, however, I have been reading “what you can change and what you can't”, by Martin Seligman, and it provides some very insightful looks into how the psychology industry had shaped over time.
