Minds in Turmoil

Why do rational individuals, when part of a group, end up believing the absurd?
What drives an entire community to see miracles in a simple reflection, to empty supermarkets out of sudden anxiety, or worse, to slip into collective delusions capable of destroying lives and institutions?
In this book, the author explores the most fragile and powerful side of our social nature: collective psychosis. This is not an event confined to history books or religious cults, but a "biological software" that is always active in our brains. Through an analysis that intertwines neuroscience, psychology, and current events, this text leads us into the heart of the "mass mind."
From the discovery of mirror neurons to the "echo chambers" of social networks, the journey crosses the places where fear is transformed into certainty: schools turned into theaters of moral panic, digital squares where conspiracy becomes identity, and the halls of power where fear is used as a weapon for consensus.
Stormy Minds (or Menti in tempesta) is not just a warning about the dangers of our time, but a necessary call to awareness. In a world moving faster than our ability to understand it, recognizing the mechanisms of collective psychosis is the only way to defend the last bastion of our freedom: critical thinking.
