And formulated.

Gustav, author of "The Rabble". Le Pen, a French social psychologist, is the founder of group psychology.

This book is group psychology, which examines the mysteries that apply to group psychology, the characteristics and beliefs of group psychology. As an independent individual, in the group, he will lose the ability to think independently, everything will become simple and rude, affected by the group consciousness, and carry out selfless actions, do not remember the consequences, selfless dedication, feel that the power of the group is extremely strong, and he will become omnipotent.

Human beings are inseparable from the life of the group, in groups of three or five, or in a large collective, the leader of the group has noble character, selfless dedication, and correct life values will lead the group to create brilliance. If the group gets an unjustified hint, the group will be destroyed. For even the learned, knowledgeable scholar can think easily in the depths of the group, be infected by the group's suggestion, and become the advocate of the group.

This book is worth reading, and there are few examples in the book, mostly quoting the example of Napoleon, who used different iron-fisted methods during his reign to turn the peoples into his own subjects, worship him, support him, fight for him, and die. The language is incisive, and they are all wise sayings. The importance of the group is deeply dissected.

If you are a leader, you can better lead the group by understanding the psychology of the group, so that the people in the group can abide by the rules, realize the value, and live in harmony. Ordinary people who understand the group consciousness can live better in the group, find a position, stick to their hearts, and follow the upright people, without being excluded or led astray by the group.

A thousand words are not enough to express one of them, and it is more appropriate to quote Schumpeter, the American master of innovation theory, who commented on this book, Le Pen effectively illustrates that "under the influence of the group, the moral restraint and civilized way of thinking and feeling of the individual suddenly disappears." primitive impulses, childish behavior, and criminal tendencies", thus striking a heavy blow to the picture of humanity that underpinned the classical doctrine of democracy and the democratic myth of revolution.

Is there a book like this, everyone says it's good, but you can't read it, that's my initial impression of this book. More than 180 pages, but so difficult to understand. I gave up the last time I had a preface.,This time I finally finished reading the first chapter.,It turns out that it's really good.,A lot of things around me can be found in the book.。

Someone said before that the method of managing "keyboard warriors" is very simple, everything is real-name, and he doesn't dare to talk nonsense. In fact, the same is true of group action. Because there is an old Chinese saying called:

The law does not hold the public accountable". So a group of people will do the exact opposite of what they usually do, just because they can hide their identity. For example, when a person needs to call for help from a crowd, what is the best chance of success?

Instead of "casting a wide net", shouting loudly, "Who's going to help me?" Because the onlookers are a group of people at the moment, and they don't have too strong self-awareness, what you should do is to ask for help from a specific person, so that you can most likely get help. Because at this time, he is an individual, and he has his own morals and conduct.

And when it comes to how to make a decision, I seem to get the answer I want. The book says that the intelligence level of the group is lower than that of the individual, because the ideas generated by the group are low-threshold and unskilled. Seeing this, I began to reflect on my own behavior, because I was afraid of being different from everyone, so I did a lot of herd behavior.

I've never been good at English, and the reason is because I remember being the first time I conformist. At that time, I was new to English and didn't know how to learn it. I forgot the words when I memorized them, but I still memorized them very hard, until a few classmates came to my house to play and told me that my senior sister gave them the experience to memorize before the exam, and now I forgot to memorize it in vain.

I just went with the flow. As a result, the English of the high school entrance examination was the last in the class, and the graduate school entrance examination was also two points away from the ideal school. And it all started that afternoon, a group consciousness.

As a result, it has been very hard to follow.

Actually, this story has been repeated in my life, but I am completely unaware of the fact that there is something wrong with it, and I know that I have only recently realized the importance of independent thinking. The meaning of life is not only to make money, but also not only fame and fortune, so don't worry when you strive to grow upward. It is equally important to lay a good foundation and take care of yourself and your family's mind and body.

I saw that many outstanding bigwigs and classmates would recommend reading the book "Rabble", and I didn't know much about it at first, so I read this book with a mentality of learning and exploration. After reading this book, if I were to give a layman's definition of a rabble and an easy-to-understand explanation, I would explain it as:Go with the flowIsn't it easy to understand that from our sensible learning to work, do you face the things around you and follow the flow?

The rabble mentality has two sides: there is a good side and a bad side. Just like in this world, there will be day and night, and there will be bad people if there are good people, which needs to be viewed dialectically.

After reading the book "The Rabble", I think he has revealed the two sides of human beings, and at the same time, this book has brought me the following revelations, take the time to summarize, I hope it will help my own growth.

The main characteristics of groupthink:

Groupthink, I personally think that it has both good and bad sides, and this will be similar to what we learn when we learn other knowledge, such asDialectical thinking。We should use dialectical thinking to look at the world, taking its essence and removing its dross.

In the same scene, we will also see different results, such as the same car pulling the goods is reversed, and the goods are spilled all over the ground, and there will be another scene, when a person takes the initiative to help the driver pick up something, and after returning it, the surrounding people are also likely to imitate it, and then a group of people will gather, and everyone will take the initiative to help the driver.

When a person encounters any problem in the face of the group, he needs to make rational judgments, maintain concentration, and adhere to his own principles. How to break through yourself? To put it bluntly, you still have to learn, progress, read more, and read countless people, so that your brain is enriched and you can cultivate your correct life values.

We can work on it from the following perspectives:
