About this listen
In The Crowd - A Study of the Popular Mind, social theorist Gustave Le Bon gives historical insight into the political thinking of his era while offering timeless social commentary. Le Bon challenges the listener to contemplate how individual ideas change - often to a destructive end - when employed in a setting of groupthink. As technology and communications innovations make group formation easy and accessible for better or for worse, this book's message is certainly one that will not be lost in the crowd.

Fascinating analysis - appalling reader
Le Bon had the prejudices of his time but he had the analysis of the mind of the mob spot-on and the book is well worth reading. The performance, though, was unbelievably bad. Clickman did no research on the names, so mispronounced nearly all of them, which made the reading ridiculous at times. He also made really dreadful semi literate errors, for instance he obviously did not know that the French honorific, "Monsieur" is shortened in ordinary writing to "M." and so he read all the men's names as "em" So-and-so, as if that were the initial of their first names. The delivery was monotonous as well. I cannot believe how any publisher could imagine this reading to be a good advertisement for their professionalism.

Dust off Le Bon's crystal ball.
Written in 1895, this book tells us we have long
forgotten its conclusions.
Sobering.
