Beskrivning
‘The most important book of 2022.’ Dr. Robert MaloneDesmet’s work on mass formation theory was brought to the world’s attention on The Joe Rogan Experience and in major alternative news outlets around the globe. Read this book to get beyond the sound bites!In The Psychology of Totalitarianism, world-renowned Professor of Clinical Psychology Mattias Desmet deconstructs the societal conditions that allow collective hypnosis to take hold. By analysing the global pandemic, he identifies the phenomenon of ‘mass formation’ and illustrates how humanity is being forcibly,unconsciously led into a reality of technocratic totalitarianism, which aggressively excludes alternative views and relies on destructive groupthink, vilifying non-conformist thought as ‘dissident.’Building on Hannah Arendt’s essential work on totalitarianism, The Origins of Totalitarianism, Desmet offers a sharp critique of the cultural ‘groupthink’ that existed pre-pandemic but has steadily and inexorably advanced during the Covid crisis. He cautions against the dangers of our current societal landscape, media consumption, and reliance on manipulative technologies, offering simple solutions – both individual and collective – to prevent the willing sacrifice of our ability to think critically. The Psychology of Totalitarianism serves as an indispensable and fundamental guide to understanding this key moment in history.‘Mattias Desmet's [theory of mass formation hypnosis] is great. . . . Once I kind of started to look for it, I saw it everywhere.’ Eric Clapton

"As I walk through the halls of a major US medical center, I see eyes that divert themselves away from me as I pass. When we engage in our usual discussions on patients, the topic of COVID-19 vaccination brings a halting response: ‘We don’t want to talk about it.’ I see fear, shame, and a never-ending cycle of groupthink that has been more contagious among physicians than aerosolized SARS-CoV-2 in a crowded elevator. Mattias Desmet, like a guided missile, has hit the target. The medical community is in mass formation and this led to a much larger penumbra that has enveloped the general population. In this book, Desmet has constructed an explanatory framework from which the cohesive fabric is suspended that clearly and concisely explains what is happening and what the next steps are that each and every one of us need to take to break the ‘spell’ and restore normalcy. A must read for our time.”—Peter A. McCullough, MD, MPH; chief medical advisor, Truth for Health Foundation

    Professor Mattias Desmet ringar rent av in den centrala motorn i det pågående samhällsdramat de senaste århundradena: en överdrivet mekanistisk världsbild som fjärmar människor på mycket bred front (sannolikt rör det nog oss alla) från att ta till vara på världen som den är, en värld som i så stor utsträckning inte kan reduceras till att mätas, vägas eller sättas andra siffror på.
    Desmet menar att de senaste årens kris och hysteri kring en särskild hälsofråga tydligare än något annat har belyst problemet med vår överdrivet mekanistiska världsbild, som han menar balanserar kring gränsen till utvecklingen av teknokratisk totalitarianism, men som vi har alla möjligheter att distansera oss från, och att vi i stället för att dra vår värld in i ett mörker kan vara med och skapa och se en fantastisk värld av lärande, utveckling och aldrig tidigare tillsammans upplevd rikedom blomma ut.
