Ep. 97 - MATTIAS DESMET - The Psychology of Totalitarianism & Understanding Mass Formation

Mattias Desmet is recognised as the world’s leading expert on the theory of mass formation as it applies to the Covid-19 pandemic.   His new book, The Psychology of Totalitarianism offers us insight into how and why populations are so easily controlled, and how it somehow follows the same pattern with each new global or national challenge we face, from the witch hunts, to the Holocaust, to Covid and more.   In this episode we discuss how it happens, and our role as individuals to be able to stop history from repeating itself.   Buy the book here ​​https://amzn.to/3WjMb0C   ***   This season of Reconditioned is kindly sponsored by Sensate, the palm-sized, infrasonic device that will not only help reduce anxiety, but will also deepen your meditations.
