The Crowd - A Study of the Popular Mind

By: Gustave Le Bon

Narrated by: John Clickman

In The Crowd - A Study of the Popular Mind, social theorist Gustave Le Bon gives historical insight into the political thinking of his era while offering timeless social commentary. Le Bon challenges the listener to contemplate how individual ideas change - often to a destructive end - when employed in a setting of groupthink. As technology and communications innovations make group formation easy and accessible for better or for worse, this book's message is certainly one that will not be lost in the crowd.

Exhausting

I couldn't finish the first chapter. The author takes simple knowledge concerning how someone would behave in a crowd and overcomplicates it.

Crazy boring and full of words. Would not recommend.

excellent book

this was an excellent book from start to finish was genuinely surprised when I found that it was finished, the narrator was amazing and kept such a great pace.

You can tell hitler, definitely read this book.

You can tell this was written back in the day. It's a shame that we can't still live like this. The good days when just one person in the household had to work and the other could take care of the home and the children and actually raise a family:)

Run away from the Sheep 🐑

This is a very good book on crowd psychology. Well in depth. It will make you look at life differently than a sheep 🐑

A terrible narrator

John Clickman is tone deaf, mispronounces words frequently, and is tentative in pronouncing names and other words. This Audible is almost a waste. I used it as accompaniment to reading the book. I can’t imagine how clear and useful to those using Audible alone. I cringed during most of it, like drinking a bad tasting medicine. But this is an illuminating book, dated but relevant as to the function of crowds.
