About the Author · · · · · ·
Gustav Le Bon (May 7, 1841 - December 13, 1931) was a famous French social psychologist and sociologist, and the founder of group psychology. He wrote a series of social psychology works, of which this book is the most famous, and has been translated into nearly 20 languages, and still has a wide influence in the academic community.
Le Bon believed that modern life was gradually characterized by the aggregation of groups. In his book The Crowd, he pointed out that once an individual enters a group, his personality is lost, the group's thoughts dominate, and the group's behavior is characterized by lack of dissent, emotionality, and low IQ.
