Mob

The last time I read this book, I was in a hurry. I just briefly glanced at the key points, and then did not think deeply about the content of the book. I gained new understanding and feelings after reading this time. Although groups have poor understanding, they have strong ability to act. Once a person joins a group, his original personality will disappear. He no longer thinks independently, but follows the crowd. The unconscious prevails, and his intelligence weakens, making it difficult to do wise things. Therefore, Le Pen said: "As long as you belong to an organized group, people will take several steps back on the ladder of civilization." But I am confused that no one has proposed how to break this "trap of groupthink."

I think this book should give some examples when explaining the truth. This way it is easier to understand. There are many people like me who don't know anything about psychology and will read this book because of its reputation.

The book is a good book, but come on! To be honest, most of the concepts in it are Western ideological cases, which are a bit difficult to bring into the world.

This book is very good. When I used to play games at home, it felt like I was killing time there. Reading this book now is a painful passage of time. To this end, I made the value of time better embodied. I wrote about my feelings, and I also used some theories in the book. Let this review be felt by most people as to the value of the book.

I have heard of this book a long time ago, mostly through quoting parts of the book from other authors, and it is quite famous here. Overall, I didn't understand it. Nearly 100,000 words basically left no impression. Then I read the comments from other readers and had the same feeling. The expression of thoughts in foreign languages ​​always feels awkward and difficult to understand. When it comes to talking about Napoleon, I can keep up a little bit. It has always been like this, successful and outstanding people always live forever, but all living beings turn into dust. On the one hand, there are indeed only a few outstanding people in the world, and they are worthy of everyone's praise; on the other hand, it may be the wishful yearning and stubborn imitation of the public, hoping that they can glimpse some mysteries in the outstanding lives of great people. I have always believed that you must have your own thoughts and ideas when doing things. No matter what the situation, you need to think about the ideas instilled by others, otherwise reading will be in vain.

I was born in 2008, and everything mentioned in the book actually happened in our lives. When we argued with our parents, we also argued with their group. In daily life, if I have friends around me, I may be extremely social, but when I am alone, I feel uncomfortable wherever I go. Because I lack self-confidence, my mind will tell me the consequences of doing certain things, but the anonymity brought by the group makes me fearless😱 You always have your own angle when reading a book. I have been reading for an hour now and I found that it is strange to follow the crowd because it only limits the crowd to you and others, and erases the existence of "I". Human consciousness is improved little by little by "I" at different moments. So many "I"s have become As for me now, are there some bad "me"s that will make future "me"s subconsciously follow the herd as long as they appear, until one "me" in this group of "me" initiates a reform at some point in the future, and this kind of reform is often called an epiphany?

This is a classic social psychology book. The author Le Bon reveals the psychological characteristics and laws of crowd behavior through the study of group psychology and behavior. The thoughts and ideas in this book are thought-provoking. Through cases and analysis of group behavior, the author reveals that people are susceptible to manipulation, convergence and blind obedience in groups. Readers can gain a more comprehensive understanding of social phenomena and personal behavior by gaining an in-depth understanding of the psychological mechanisms of the mob.

In the past, most people had a low level of education and thought little. Now that education has been universalized and people's level of education has improved, this phenomenon of blind obedience should be improved.

First of all, the characteristics of "groups" mentioned in this book can naturally make people think of a series of people and events in life. Provides a mass perspective for interpreting current affairs news. It is hard to imagine that such a book written more than a hundred years ago still has high practical value. Secondly, it can also serve as a warning to readers, allowing us to maintain the ability to think independently in the modern social life - an era in which the Internet is used as a medium to continuously bring different people together, constantly form new heterogeneous groups, and constantly create homogeneous groups, and not become a member of the "rabble" and be coerced by groupthink. Finally, this book written more than a hundred years ago still has its shortcomings, such as the topic of "race" that runs throughout the book, which may cause misunderstandings in today's society. Le Pen's comparison between the Latin nation and the Anglo-Saxon nation makes one wonder whether Le Pen himself is also a member of a certain group. Is the author also a member of a certain group? Does what you write really have a certain degree of objectivity? Maybe after you read this book, you will have your own ideas.

Just like what is said in the book, "As soon as a person joins a group, his IQ is seriously reduced." This sentence really resonates. Sometimes we lose our ability to think in a crowd and are influenced by others. This book helped me stay awake and not follow blindly. And it's well translated and easy to read. Recommended to everyone!

Great book! Very philosophical and practical!

There is a lot written in the book but it is not limited to groups. My feelings are similar to the courage to be hated. There is more purely rational knowledge in the book, which requires more thinking. It also solves many ideas that I have thought about but cannot coherently or express in words.

Regarding the books she likes, Diana said that instead of simply introducing them, it is better to read them yourself. I also want to say this, if you like it, just jump in [eat melon]

I've finished reading it. It's a good book.

The power of crowds is both great and absurd. When they get together, they often lose their reason and judgment, learn to follow blindly, and attack another group. Individuals are anonymous within the group, which means that mistakes made by the group will not be borne by the individual, and they will not be responsible for what they have done. In a group, the leader is sometimes blind. He uses inflammatory remarks instead of rational logic to conquer people's hearts and destroy their reason.

Good book, but you need to understand It is really well written. The crowd is blind. If you follow the crowd, you will also be blind. Race, heterogeneity, homogenization, distinction, election. The decisions made by a group of brilliant scholars are no different from those of a group of workers. It refers to issues that are not academic. It asserts that repetition of prestige is contagious.

Why are there so few book reviews?

The group is stupid, the individual is wise!

I didn't understand it the first time, but it still makes sense. Maybe this book requires careful reading to understand the profound truth contained in it.
