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.

读后感

最近又开始读第二遍埃里克－霍弗的《狂热分子》，有一些记录和反思，与大家分享。觉得在这个时代好好读一下这本书，以及多读点历史书，会是一件很好的事。 —————————————————————— 1、 嚼碎了食物口对口喂牙口很好的孩子，无时不刻都盯着孩子，中国...

与庞勒的《乌合之众》相比，霍弗的《狂热分子》似乎更为小众。也许是因为作者传奇的经历，抑或是描述大众的人本身就需要站到一个出离的位置才能写出这样冷静或说是冷酷的书，这本书给我的感觉就像古龙笔下的刀，一闪间砍那一下，不用拔也不用收。作者的观点归纳起来十分简单：...  

用户评价

好书，强烈推荐。

真是指导群众运动的圣经！

還是更喜歡“the crowd”

每一句话都想标记下来，比如：There is a tendency to judge a race, a nation or any distinct group by its least worthy members.
