Summary

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.

Summary

"Les seuls changements importants, ceux d'où le renouvellement des civilisations découle, s'opèrent dans les opinions, les conceptions et les croyances..." "La destruction des croyances religieuses, combinée avec l'émergence de nouvelles technologies, va entraîner une mutation dans le mental collectif. (...) Les sociétés qui émergeront du chaos devront compter avec une puissance nouvelle : les foules." Dans ce texte publié en 1895, Gustave Le Bon, avance des idées sur la psychologie collective qui parurent choquantes à l'époque mais qui gardent aujourd'hui encore toute leur pertinence. "La foule est toujours dominée par l'inconscient." "Connaître l'art d'impressionner l'imagination des foules c'est connaître l'art de les gouverner." Processus électoraux, sociétés de consommation, marketing, téléréalité et réseaux sociaux, mondialisation, plus que jamais notre époque moderne plonge davantage dans cette "ère des foules" prévue par Le Bon. Un livre audio indispensable pour qui veut comprendre les ressorts des comportements collectifs.

The Psychology of Revolution

Summary

Gustave Le Bon was a French polymath whose areas of interest included anthropology, psychology, sociology, medicine, invention, and physics. He is best known for his 1895 work The Crowd: A Study of the Popular Mind, which is considered one of the seminal works of crowd psychology. Other than the cover suggests, this book does not deal with the Russian Revolution, but revolutions and their pre-conditions in general. Le Bon who grew up in France during the revolutionary wave that was pravelent in Europe in the mid 19th century uses in this book the French Revolution as his study case.
