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.

从落榜生到“救世主” ——蠹鱼笔记(35) □/徐强 洪秀全于应试落第后，得失心盛，殆成一种神经病。神志昏聩中，自谓曾至天上，蒙天主授以极重要之职。命其毁灭世界上崇拜之偶像，指引迷途，晓谕世人，使人人咸知天主，信仰耶稣，俾耶稣得为世人赎罪。洪秀全既自以为在天主之...

老家的墙上挂着耶稣的画像，因为奶奶大约在她50岁之后，成了虔诚的基督徒。奶奶过世数年后，常年在外的我某次回家，发现老妈悄然继承了奶奶的衣钵。换言之，上帝收编了我们家仅有的两个女人，呵呵。也因此，老妈对外一向宣称，我们是信耶稣的家庭，碰到其他基督徒，也格外而莫...

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.

好书，强烈推荐。

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.

Inspiring, though some claims are unsupportable. The author is quite perspicacious.

怪不得中译版，起副标题为“群众运动圣经”，确实是圣经啊
