Groupthink: A Study in Self Delusion

Amazon

Christopher John Penrice Booker (7 October 1937 – 3 July 2019) was an English journalist and author. He founded a satirical magazine Private Eye in 1961.

In Groupthink, his final book, the late, journalist and bestselling author Christopher Booker seeks to identify the hidden key to understanding much that is disturbing about the world today. Booker sheds new light on the remarkable – and worrying – effects of 'groupthink', and its influence on our society.

Booker defines the three rules of groupthink:

• Adoption of a common view or belief not based on objective reality;
• Establishment of a consensus of right-minded people, an 'in group'; and
• Need to treat the views of anyone who questions the belief as wholly unacceptable.

He shows how various interest groups, journalists and even governments in the twenty-first century have subscribed to this way of thinking, with deeply disturbing results.

Great read. Let me know your thoughts!
