Mass Psychology and Other Writings

by

A detailed yet a comprehensive read. Freud discusses his views on religious faith, and the army, and how these social drivers can cause human kind to commit acts of atrocities. It discusses a few aspects of Freud’s interest in the human mind, and how social drivers drive us to behave.
This might feel a little similar to Crowds and Power by Elias Canetti, but unlike Canetti, Freud's work is more balanced i.e Scientific = Literary.
A good read, but this book can be a difficult read without the prior understanding of Freud’s concepts and notions of the dynamics of the human mind. One must be familiar with Freud's writing (Psychoanalysis) before picking this.
