Reznek's book is clear and easy to read. Not addressing the facts behind the stated delusions of the masses he does not follow the scientific process.

Reznek's book is clear and easy to read. The eclectic nature of Reznek's approach also emerges through the variety of disciplines that he cites and engages with to advance his argument; a quick perusal of the bibliography will reveal works in psychology, psychiatry, philosophy and religion.

Here, Reznek hopes to shed light on the delusions of the masses-those delusions that are common to everyday people living so-called ordinary lives. He provides an understanding of madness and the psychological processes that drive us to adopt delusions, arguing that it is a mistake to view only schizophrenic patients as delusional, while excluding large groups of society from such an analysis. We all think that we can tell the difference between someone who is mad, or whom psychiatrists call psychotic, and someone who is sane. But can we really tell who is mad and who is not? Do we really know what madness is and how it should be recognized?
