The Ordeal of Change de Eric Hoffer
The book examines the forces working to change the world, including discontented people in need of haven, intellectuals, talented misfits, idealists, and men of words who play upon mass emotions.
Bestselling classic text: The basic premise is that there are traits common to all mass movements, whether religious, social, or nationalist.
Great book but at times it was a little too much philosophizing for me. I understand that is the nature/subject of the book and it's not the authors fault for being smarter than I am, but I still enjoyed it even though it wasn't the most easiest of reads. Back in the day these dudes were sitting around getting high and writing down every single thought that came to their mind. I wonder if we have any "philosophers" these days who write about this stuff or is it only in the past. These philosophers quoted in here span thousands of years. From Aristotle time and B.C. to mid 1900's and even some later than that. It couldn't have went all those years and then not have any new material in this current time.… (mais)
