Ernest Becker
À propos de cet audio
Winner of the Pulitzer Prize in 1974 and the culmination of a life's work, The Denial of Death is Ernest Becker's brilliant and impassioned answer to the "why" of human existence. In bold contrast to the predominant Freudian school of thought, Becker tackles the problem of the vital lie: man's refusal to acknowledge his own mortality. In doing so, he sheds new light on the nature of humanity and issues a call to life and its living that still resonates more than 30 years after its writing.

In a scrap heap within an abandoned factory, the greatest invention in history lies dormant and unused. By what fatal error of judgment has its value gone unrecognized, its brilliant inventor punished rather than rewarded for his efforts? In defense of those greatest of human qualities that have made civilization possible, one man sets out to show what would happen to the world if all the heroes of innovation and industry went on strike.

Paradise Lost, along with its companion piece, Paradise Regained, remain the most successful attempts at Greco-Roman style epic poetry in the English language. Remarkably enough, they were written near the end of John Milton's amazing life, a bold testimonial to his mental powers in old age. And, since he had gone completely blind in 1652, 15 years prior to Paradise Lost, he dictated it and all his other works to his daughter.

At the dawn of World War I, a young academic named John Maynard Keynes hastily folded his long legs into the sidecar of his brother-in-law’s motorcycle for an odd, frantic journey that would change the course of history. Swept away from his placid home at Cambridge University by the currents of the conflict, Keynes found himself thrust into the halls of European treasuries to arrange emergency loans and packed off to America to negotiate the terms of economic combat.

A pliar of neutrality: This book levels a forest of ideas to the ground
As the introduction mentions, humanity is choking on truth; everything is mentioned in a million ways, screaming for attention. It's hard to get meaningful ideas or whole perspectives that can stand solid these days, and this perspective is solid. The Denial of Death doesn't level a forest of ideals by picking up an axe but by giving latitude. To the point that even mountains look flat.

Brilliant book
This book surprised me at almost every turn. It frames how we look at the behaviour patterns that define our lives in a new light.
There were moments where I found myself having said aloud proclamations of it's brilliance - I will definitely give it another listen at some point.
The author gives a lot of credit to another author Otto Rank. He speaks highly of his work and often cites his discoveries.
This is the synopsis from Wikipedia...
"The Denial of Death is a 1973 work of psychology and philosophy by Ernest Becker, in which the author builds on the works of Søren Kierkegaard, Sigmund Freud, Norman O. Brown and Otto Rank. It was awarded the Pulitzer Prize for General Non-Fiction in 1974, two months after the author's death"
The narrator moves quickly through the material which I appreciate due to the volume of the text.
Great book. Don't miss this one.
Once it gets going you won't be able to stop listening to it and it will stay with you for awhile afterwards following your first listen.

Well Researched and Thought Out
I listened to this book almost a year ago. I've been chewing on the ideas ever since. Many of them I intuitively knew since a young age, and my experiences in life and observations of culture have only reinforced them and helped me understand them deeper. As someone who lives to take physical risks and challenges, I've often found myself confused by so many of my peers who seem almost pathetically risk-averse. This book does a good job of articulating how many people busy themselves endlessly in a naive and vain attempt to avoid thinking or coming to terms with the fact that they will one day die.
If you've ever experimented with psychedelics and deep introspective thoughts, you'll likely have grappled with the subject matter in this book. This author does a great job of expanding upon and articulating those ideas, with plenty of anthropological support.
A must read for anyone who endeavours to live a meaningful life.
Also, if you were curious about why so many strange individuals went panic-shopping for toilet paper during the COVID-19 situation, this book elaborates on the psychology behind that type of behaviour.

Good start, but could not continue...
The author is off to a good start but turns his story into musings about Freud's personality and features, which I don't care about. It seemed to me that at the time of writing it was important to refer to some important psych figures like Freud but it's completely irrelevant now. Sadly, I couldn't tolerate listening to these pointless musings...

Lacks reference to any evidence
Read (listened) to this for a second time since doing a degree, which was a different experience to the first time. This is really a very interesting series of opinions. If you don't like Freud because of the lack of evidence, you won't like this.

Outdated, offensive and disappointing.
I read 3-5 books a week, and this is the first one I've truly struggled to get through that initially seemed promising. The homophobia isn't acceptable, either. A boring narrator and boring subject matter that can't stop sucking up to outdated Freud.
