He posits that crowds have personalities, just like individuals, and that individuals change when part of a crowd.\u003c\/b\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \"The most careful observations seem to prove that an individual immersed for some length of time in a crowd in action soon finds himself-either in consequence of the magnetic influence given out by the crowd, or from some other cause of which we are ignorant-in a special state, which much resembles the state of fascination in which the hypnotized individual finds himself in the hands of the hypnotizer. The activity of the brain being paralysed in the case of the hypnotized subject, the latter becomes the slave of all the unconscious activities of his spinal cord, which the hypnotizer directs at will. The conscious personality has entirely vanished; will and discernment are lost. All feelings and thoughts are bent in the direction determined by the hypnotizer.\" \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e This edition has been completely reset in fresh type.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Gustave Le Bon\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1907947337\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781907947339\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Solis Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/04\/2014\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 154\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.50lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 0.33d","brand":"Gustave Le Bon","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43991179985151,"sku":"9781907947339","price":9.01,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_4994eb8f-949e-4fea-9556-82a158308bb9.jpg?v=1683308895","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-crowd-gustave-le-bon-9781907947339","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
