Understanding Ideology: How Not to Lose Your Mind*
invites readers on a journey through the hidden psychology of belief — how ordinary people become captive to systems of thought that promise meaning but demand obedience. Drawing on insights from philosophy, psychology, and history, Michael Hardiman explores why ideologies seduce us, how they take root in both personal and political life, and what it takes to think freely amid collective certainty.
Through vivid examples and clear-eyed reflection, Hardiman reveals how good intentions can be twisted into dogma, how moral conviction can drift into moral blindness, and how the need for belonging can make us surrender our capacity to think. Yet this is ultimately a hopeful book: it shows that self-awareness, empathy, and philosophical reflection remain our best defences against manipulation — and our surest paths to freedom of mind.

The Path to Mass Evil
The twentieth century saw the rise of regimes that unleashed almost unimaginable levels of cruelty and destruction. Over one hundred million innocent lives were lost—not merely through war, but through systematic murder, persecution, and repression orchestrated by authoritarian rulers. These atrocities were not only committed by tyrants, but also enabled by ordinary people, revealing a disturbing truth: human beings are far more susceptible to evil than we like to believe.
In *The Path to Mass Evil*, Michael Hardiman draws on the insights of political thinker Hannah Arendt to explore how modern societies—often advanced and democratic—can descend into moral collapse. This book is both a historical analysis and a stark warning: the conditions that gave rise to totalitarian evil in the past have not disappeared. They may, in fact, be returning.
Urgent, thought-provoking, and deeply relevant, *The Path to Mass Evil* challenges us to confront the forces that threaten liberty, truth, and our shared humanity today.
