Social organization : $b A study of the larger mind

"Social Organization: A Study of the Larger Mind" by Charles Horton Cooley is a book from the early 1900s that explores how our thoughts are formed by the society around us. The book looks into the connection between our personal thoughts and how we relate to others, showing how our understanding of ourselves comes from our relationships with others. Cooley believed that our minds are deeply connected to the social world, and that society plays a huge role in shaping who we are, arguing against the idea that we develop self awareness alone. The book introduces how communication, morals, and human nature connect individuals within societal structures.
