Download Audiobook The Psychology of Totalitarianism by Mattias Desmet in English

DESCRIPTION

We bear witness to loneliness, free-floating nervousness, and concern giving solution to censorship, lack of privateness, and surrendered freedoms. It’s all spurred by a singular, targeted disaster narrative that forbids dissident views and depends on damaging groupthink. Totalitarianism isn’t a coincidence and doesn’t type in a vacuum. It arises from a collective psychosis that has adopted a predictable script all through historical past, its formation gaining power and pace with every era—from the Jacobins to the Nazis and Stalinists—as know-how advances. Governments, mass media, and different mechanized forces use concern, loneliness, and isolation to demoralize populations and exert management, persuading massive teams of individuals to behave in opposition to their very own pursuits, at all times with damaging outcomes. In The Psychology of Totalitarianism, world-renowned Professor of Scientific Psychology Mattias Desmet deconstructs the societal circumstances that permit this collective psychosis to take maintain. By our present scenario and figuring out the phenomenon of “mass formation”—a kind of collective hypnosis—he clearly illustrates how shut we’re to surrendering to totalitarian regimes.
