Gustave Le Bon

The ideas le Bon explores in this book are extremely relevant to today's society and were of pivotal importance in the early years of group psychology. Applications include financial market behaviour and political delusions.

Psychology of Crowds

Always a little weird to review books like these since they often express (or try to express) important ideas. This book feels incredibly relevant in current times (in case you, too, are wondering why people you know to be reasonable human beings seem to have been acting insane recently). I only think I probably need to re-read it as it feels like it has given me a lot of awareness and understanding and not necessarily many tools for what to do with it.
