Minh Trang's Reviews > Psychology of Crowds

I don't like this book for a very simple reason: Out-of-date. The examples the author gave largely from Révolution française, which is no longer a great example for his theory.
Also, with the outbreak (should I use this word) of advanced technologies, exchanging information, concepts and even trends is everyday occurrence for people around the world. Thus, the psychology of crowds should be investigated with technology-involved interruptions.
I do not recommend this book for non-majored readers. The language contains many technical terms and concepts.
I don't know why this book is highly recommended, instead it is rather wordy and oversimplified everything. The art of human manipulation is not that simple.
