The Crowd: a Study of Popular Psychology

You can't believe everything when you read, and you can't believe it at all. When you read, you should think more about it. If you don't know what the author wrote, we will think that what the author writes is the truth, and it should be combined with reality and the times. Sublimate your thoughts and make yourself more "wisdom"

First of all, this book must have historical limitations at that time. But this does not affect his influence on today's society. Many of his principles can help us see the truth. It allows us to be ourselves better instead of following the crowd. A whole will give us a sense of security, but this whole cannot become a bargaining chip to restrain us. We are ourselves after all. Don't be a "rabble".

In group psychology, when people form a group, their individual characteristics will disappear and be replaced by unconsciousness; they don't want or even fear reasoning, because they don't need to be responsible, so they will behave badly. If a person calls the group with reason, he may be scolded or beaten by the group... But the group also has its own moral concepts and is emotional.

This book is the foundation of group psychology and is known as one of the "20 books that changed the world." The book describes the collective mentality extremely delicately, examines the special psychology and way of thinking of the group, and especially provides an incisive analysis of the different psychology of individuals and groups. It has had a huge impact on people's understanding of the role of collective behavior and thinking on social psychology. The book has novel ideas and vivid language, making it a must-read for researchers of group behavior.

A group of people regardless of class status will become a mob

It still has guiding significance in explaining many social phenomena today.

Not bad, his understanding of society is so clear.

The voice of the individual in the group will be muffled. All we can do is to stay rational as much as possible and not be a "rabble"

The viewpoints in the book are unique, like a sharp sword, cutting through group phenomena and getting to the essence. The characters have distinct personalities and different experiences, but they all resonate with me. Moreover, these analyzes also have great implications for our lives, such as how to guide children not to be influenced by groups and to maintain independent thinking when educating children. All in all, this is a book worth reading again and again.
