The Crowd: a Study of Crowd Psychology

This is a very useful book, especially for today's society (it is also applicable to China where traditional civilization has not been revived). After reading this book, you will be able to understand some of the current operating rules of European and American countries. The author's arguments are mostly based on the era in which he lived. Although there are limitations of the era, the development of society is like climbing a high-rise building. The various features of the later era are always based on the previous era. The era in which the author lived was a period of prosperity in Europe and America. The author's views are profound and still shine today. The greatest person in any civilization is the reflector. Only through constant reflection can this civilization become more and more brilliant. A civilization that is stuck in its ways has no future. But reflectors are lonely. There are many smart people, but most of them have narrow visions and sink into self-interest. Reflectors who truly serve the country and the people are extremely rare. The author can be called a reflector of his own civilization. But I think when Chinese people read this book, they must not blindly use ism. After all, the time from the industrial revolution to the author's period in the West is still short, and it is very different from the social situation in China's two thousand years of history after the Qin Dynasty. If we take the west as a lesson, we will not be blind.

As the book says, people tend to lose themselves in groups and become blindly obedient. I think of some friends around me who are easily incited by certain hot events. This book explains this phenomenon very well. I especially like the analysis of individual and group psychology in the book. It is very thorough and the translation is wonderful. I feel like I am digging for treasure. I gain new insights every time I read it. Recommended to everyone!

The content of the book, such as the title "The Crowd", introduces the psychological characteristics of the people as a group and how to play their role in society. It is of great reference value for understanding the psychological characteristics of the group.

To be honest, I read this book because of its reputation. I opened it today and realized that I haven't finished reading it yet. I can't remember how long or when I read it. I can't even remember what I read. I'll finish reading the next two chapters if I skim through them in a hurry. Although this book has been recommended by many celebrities, I have to say that it is not suitable for me. The final proof of this is that I eagerly read The Plague on New Year's Day.

A book worth reading, thank you very much

I used to have many misunderstandings about the mob, but in fact it is not a book about conformity at all.

It is difficult to maintain independent thinking in a group.

If you are interested, you can give it a try. It's pretty good.

Highly recommended to read, very simple and easily overlooked point of view and understanding

Studying history, society, and economy is ultimately studying groups of people! But unfortunately, the group kidnapped me, and desire also kidnapped me. It turns out that reason is so weak in the face of these two forces.

For me, it was a new appreciation of community.

The book is very good. It opens a window through the book.

Very good, very thorough, very rational

The angle is novel and I benefit a lot!

The book 📖 is very good and worth reading

I love it so much. There are also books recommended at the end. There are many and they are very good.
