About this product

Product Information

Winner of the Pulitzer Prize, The Denial of Death explores how people and cultures around the world have reacted to the concept of death from celebrated cultural anthropologist Ernest Becker. 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 decades after its writing.

This book ruined my life.
This book destroyed the veil. It has answers, but they're not good. It is a great book. It is a brilliant book. I strongly suggest not reading it. It can't possibly make your life better. It will only make your struggle harder.

Challenging, powerful, magnificent - a brave work
It is difficult to overestimate the importance of this book. It must be one of the masterpieces of the last century. It touches on philosophy, psychology, theology of the modern man and his never ending attempts to escape the burden of life and death. Professor Becker exhibits a remarkable insight into the theories of Freud, Fromm, Kierkegaard, Jung and others.

Disappointed
Read such good reviews of this book and had been looking forward to reading it. Sadly, it did not live up to the hype. I found it both outdated and outlandish. A colossal waste of my time... Do yourself a favor and just don't...

Great book
Great book. Very psychoanalytic but in a way that is both normalized and profound.
