Crowd Psychology

Translator A Ai

Summary

Crowd Psychology explores the fascinating ways individuals behave differently in groups compared to when they are alone. It examines the underlying psychological mechanisms behind collective behavior, drawing from historical mass movements and contemporary social psychology. Early theories, such as those by Gustave Le Bon, suggested concepts like deindividuation and emotional contagion influence crowd actions. The book demonstrates how understanding these dynamics is crucial for navigating social movements, political rallies, and even online interactions.

 
The book argues that collective behavior, while sometimes appearing irrational, is a complex mix of individual motivations, social contexts, and cognitive biases. It progresses through three sections: foundational psychological principles, real-world examples like revolutionary movements and stock market panics, and practical applications in fields such as public policy and marketing.

 
By integrating historical analysis with current psychological research, the book offers a comprehensive view of crowd psychology applicable to various fields and interests.

Absolute Tao - Subtle is the way...

Osho

Moving beyond the usual interpretations of this classic Chinese text - that of using it as an indicator of what to do next or attempting to predict the future - Osho is using the Tao Te Ching as Lao Tzu intended: to ignite the flame of individual awareness and insight. His commentaries on these seven verses burn through every idea we may hold about ourselves until we can see with the same crystal-clear light as Lao Tzu.
Tao, like Osho, is the way of wholeness: not dividing or denying anything, simply remaining choiceless and aware. You will find yourself listening to this series as if it were a waterfall; as you listen, you will come to understand the emptiness that puts us in touch with the eternal and makes bliss and ecstasy possible.

- On the Absolute Tao
- Ordinariness
- On the Character of Tao
- Emptiness
- On the Danger of Overweening Success
- There Is No Meaning
- On the Utility of Not-Being
- Witnessing
- On the Wise Ones of Old
- Wisdom and Understanding

This is Not New - Art Culture...

David Balzer

Praise for Curationism: "Balzer writes with zest, skepticism, and sly humor" —Sheila Heti, author of Pure Colour 
 
 
 
What does it mean to call something "new"? Why is Western art and culture, even after postmodernism, still so obsessed with the concept? What are the consequences of relying on culture to bring about social change? 
 
 
 
In this provocative book, David Balzer argues that Western culture was never designed to produce truly new or original artifacts. Rather, we move from fixation to fixation, trend to trend—a cycle of creation and destruction with deep origins in Judeo-Christianity and the paganism that preceded it. The culture industry promises its own form of change while preserving existing systems of power exactly as they are. 
 
 
 
From the New Jerusalem to the New Left, from Vannevar Bush to Kate Bush, This is Not New asks difficult questions about the role of culture not in making change, but in delaying—even preventing—it.
