Abstract
Born in the Bronx, New York, Herbert J. Greenwald displayed extraordinary intellectual gifts from an early age. A deeply empathic, visionary social psychologist, Herb was committed to improving human experience by understanding the mind. His seminal work was the result of a fascinating journey that presents an understanding of that complexity and transformed his own life in the process. In The Psychological Brain (2017), Herb introduced psychological systems theory. Psychological Roots, a key system within this framework, help people uncover subconscious processes that shape how they think and behave and learn practical strategies for addressing and satisfying these critical processes. Herb embodied "Tikkun Olam," the Jewish principle, "to help mend and repair the world." His kindness, wisdom, and relentless pursuit of knowledge left an indelible mark on countless lives. He will be remembered as one whose legacy continues to inspire, both through his extraordinary contributions to psychology and the footprints he left on the hearts of those who knew him.
