"Everyone needs to read this book! There is a free PDF copy on Robert Altmeyer's website and you can either read it on an e-reader device or simply print it out. Mr. Altmeyer does not give his opinion about the tendencies of "authoritarians", he shows the evidence!" — Mike (5 out of 5 stars)

" Compelling, thought-provoking, offers an intriguing glimpse of the nexus between sociology and psychology, and supplies a worldview-enhancing prism through which contemporary politics can be better understood. "
" An excellent examination as to why people follow authoritarians. And it is free "
" Good but no real new information.... John Dean is a better read IMO. "
" Everyone should read this book and be afraid, be very afraid. Except that will make you more authoritarian so don't be afraid. The more I know about human psychology, the less I like people. "
" If you are trying to figure out what is happening in American politics this is a very good place to start. So much to think about. "
" Eye-opening! Helps me understand why people sometimes act the way they do. Hopefully once this percolates for a while I can approach interacting with people in this state in a more positive way. "
" Highly recommended!! Helped explain some of the mindset and motivations of people who had previously boggled (or infuriated) me. "
" This book is an absolute MUST READ for anyone with any interest in why politics is the way it is and why there are so many people who appear to base their lives based on things that are provably wrong. Very scary in someways. "
