Love? What鈥檚 in it for me?

Why do people do good deeds? Are they being selfless or is there something else going on? Psychological egoists believe that everything we do we do because it somehow benefits us. It might seem like you're being the good guy, but that鈥檚 all just an illusion. Apparently, deep down, we are nothing but selfish.

Narrated by Aidan Turner. Scripted by Nigel Warburton.
