About this product

Product Information

A stevedore on the San Francisco docks in the 1940s, Eric Hoffer wrote philosophical treatises in his spare time while living in the railroad yards. The True Believer - the first and most famous of his books - was made into a bestseller when President Eisenhower cited it during one of the earliest television press conferences.Completely relevant and essential for understanding the world today, The True Believer is a visionary, highly provocative look into the mind of the fanatic and a penetrating study of how an individual becomes one.

If you want concise insight into what drives the mind of the fanatic and the dynamics of a mass movement at their most primal level, may I suggest an evening with Eric Hoffer., The True Believer glitters with icy wit. . . bristles with deadly parallels. . . . It is a harsh and potent mental tonic., Hoffer has outlined a remarkably clear and suggestive theory about the kind of social change he sums up as 'mass movements,' supplied concrete illustrative materials drawn from a wide historical range, and put them together in a brief, readable, and provocative book., [Hoffer] is a student of extraordinary perception and insight. The range of his reading and research is vast, amazing. He has written one of the most provocative books of our immediate day., Its theme is political fanaticism, with which it deals severely and brilliantly. . . . It owes its distinction to the fact that Hoffer is a born generalizer, with a mind that inclines to the wry epigram and icy aphorism as naturally as did that of the Duc de La Rochefoucauld., This brilliant and original inquiry into the nature of mass movements is a genuine contribution to our social thought.

    Understanding fanaticism.

    An excellent book and a required read in 1969 when I went to university. If you want to understand how ideology can manipulate people and affect and change a people, their social an political systems, this book will explain the basics and more.

    Ever thus it was so.

    In all the recorded history of human behavior time after time people think a leader has all the answers to their problems and they fall into a form of mass hysteria and follow their new deliverer blindly into terrible events.
