CONTAGIOUS FEAR: How Fear Spreads Through Crowds, Communities, and History

by Sequoia Book Publishers

Fear does not stay in one mind. It moves. It jumps from person to person, spreads through a crowd faster than any argument, and can take hold of an entire community before anyone stops to ask whether the threat was ever real. CONTAGIOUS FEAR examines how that transmission works — the psychology of panic, the mechanics of rumor, the conditions that turn ordinary caution into mass hysteria — and traces it through the moments in history when fear itself became the most powerful force in the room. Clear, unsettling, and impossible to unsee once you have read it, this is a book about the oldest and most infectious human emotion, and about what it costs us when we let it spread unchecked.
