      Lots of words used to convey simple ideas. Groups are not the average of their individual components; they are a less intelligent more emotional version.
    • 4/5
      I picked up this book after reading Ann Coulter's Demonic. In her book, she uses the study of mob (what in Le Bon's time was referred to as "crowd") to illustrate how correct he was and how human nature has not changed. Even without Ms. Coulter's examples, one cannot read the original publication and not think of contemporary representations of Le Bon's findings. Just a few generations post-French Revolution the social psychologist utilizes occurrences during the French uprisings and unreasoned actions of the mob, especially when mob sentiment contradicted itself soon after one riotous action after another. I did find Le Bon's philosophy irreligious as he frequently lumped Buddha, Mahomet and Jesus as leaders of mobs and instigators of deadly actions long after their deaths.
