Sinossi

In The Crowd, Gustave Le Bon posits that with the rise of democracy and industrialization, it’s the unreasoning crowds who will control the affairs of the people, not kings or the elite; and these crowds are largely irrational in action, conservative in thought, violent both in act and in speech, and easily hypnotized by individuals with prestige but not intelligence.Le Bon is ultimately cynical in how he views this development in human affairs. Individuals in crowds feel anonymous and powerful, leading to destruction and violence; and the susceptibility of crowds to pure charisma means that they’re easily dominated by thuggish men of action, not wise men of foresight. People in a crowd are “a grain of sand amid other grains of sand, which the wind stirs up at will.”His conclusion is that the increasing relevance and power of crowds in modern society will lead to negative outcomes in the long term. In his view, democracy can only lead to more and more violent crowds, who demand charismatic figureheads to give them meaning.As one of the earliest examples of the study of crowd psychology, The Crowd was a direct influence on many titanic figures in 20th century history, including Theodore Roosevelt, Freud, Mussolini, Lenin, and Hitler.

    Liberalism is a political and philosophical ideology rooted in the principles of individual liberty, equality, and limited government. At its core, liberalism emphasizes the autonomy of the individual, arguing that each person has the right to pursue their own life and happiness, free from unnecessary interference by the state or society. Emerging in the Enlightenment period, liberalism challenged the traditional structures of monarchies and feudal systems, advocating for the rights of the individual and the importance of reason, tolerance, and democratic participation. 
    The roots of liberal thought can be traced back to the works of early modern philosophers such as John Locke, whose ideas on natural rights and government by consent laid the foundation for liberal political theory. Locke’s assertion that individuals possess inherent rights to life, liberty, and property formed the basis for much of liberal thought, influencing the development of constitutionalism and democratic governance. Over time, thinkers like Montesquieu, Rousseau, and later John Stuart Mill contributed to the evolution of liberalism, expanding its focus to issues of civil liberties, political freedoms, and social equality. 
    A defining characteristic of liberalism is its emphasis on individual freedom. This includes both personal liberty—the freedom to make choices about one’s own life—and political liberty—the right to participate in the democratic process and have a say in the laws and policies that govern society. Classical liberals advocated for minimal government interference in the economy and individual affairs, emphasizing free markets, private property, and limited state power. The role of the state, in this view, is to protect the rights of individuals and maintain social order, but not to intervene in the private lives or economic transactions of citizens.

I have taken my experiences and the experiences of others and categorized them into five stages. This book is a walk through the side of love most people don’t want to talk about. This conversation is necessary in order to heal, grow and find the love meant for you.

    A Wall Street Journal–bestseller, Republican Ed Goeas and Democrat Celinda Lake present political strategies to resolve national and civil tensions.A Question of Respect speaks to voters who are tired of a political environment that ends in immovable stalemate, grounded by a political party’s voter base without addressing solutions or attempting to understand the opposing side. With more than thirty years of their joint Battleground Poll exploring the concerns of the American public, Ed and Celinda reveal that only through mutual respect will the nation be able to heal its divisions. “In providing a roadmap to respect and bipartisanship, liberal Lake and conservative Goeas offer up a very personal lesson for all of us on the final page. In acknowledging how their politically divided relationship changed over the two-year writing project, they basically said that time and listening were the best medicine. . . . Theirs is not only a cure for what ails Washington, but maybe the slave to our divided nation, packed in a powerful and concise read. Bravo.” —Paul Bedard, Washington Secrets columnist for the Washington Examiner“A very good book by very good people about a very good country in very bad times. I could not put it down. Get copies for everyone you know, especially those with whom you’ve stopped communicating.” —Mary Matalin, American political consultant “Ed and Celinda, two experienced veterans of political combat, have written a thoughtful examination of where the problems lie, and what we can do about them. It’s not a solution, that’s up to us, but it’s an invaluable roadmap that each of us should carry.” —General Stan McChrystal (Ret.)
