This book is a classic work on analyzing group psychology. Although it is an academic work, the language is vivid and fluent, and the analysis is penetrating and penetrating. Therefore, "The Crowd" has been translated into more than a dozen languages since its publication.
This book subverts people's usual understanding of groups and analyzes the characteristics of groups incisively and vividly, making people first surprised and then admired.
The author analyzes layer by layer and advances step by step, clearly pointing out that once an individual integrates into a group, his individuality will be annihilated, and the group's thoughts will occupy an absolute dominant position. At the same time, the group's behavior will also show characteristics such as rejection of dissent, extremeness, emotion, and low IQ, which will have a destructive impact on society.
All in all, "The Crowd" is an influential work in the field of social psychology and should be read by anyone who thinks deeply about group behavior and wants to make a difference.
Reader comments
I don't seem to understand it very much, or maybe I understand it a little bit. Whatever, it doesn't matter, as long as I get some gains. I don't know whether the views and judgments written by this author are truth or fallacy. Anyway, I look at it dialectically. This book gave me a little concept of groups and some simple understanding, which is also very good.
This book has a unique perspective and profound analysis, which gave me a new understanding of group behavior. The author's writing style is concise and smooth, and the views in the book are also very interesting, but I don't like some of the overly absolute statements in the book. In short, this is a book worth reading and will make you think about many issues about society and human nature.
After reading the first volume, I feel it is worth reading and can give you some thoughts.
The truth cannot fill the spiritual emptiness [almost crying] [laughing and crying]
