## Description

Buy The Denial of Death by Becker, Ernest (ISBN: 9780285638976) from desertcart's Book Store. Free UK delivery on eligible orders.

Review: Really uplifting book - I am terrified of dying and I don't understand why no one else seems to think about it as much as I do. It's because they're all working on their, 'immortality projects' as Becker calls them. Like earning lots of money and having kids you feel more and more immortal. But you're not. You're just doing everything to try and ignore the fact that soon you will cease to exist and nothing you're doing now will mean anything to anyone!
Review: Truth Tsar Bomba - I think Becker is more along the line of reality than Freud. It is my belief - take that with a grain of salt - that it is the refusal and running from the looming doom of death that is our prime mover is many things, not the libido. This book hit hard in a lot of places, and is a great insight into things of the mind including why dictators come to power, or why wish to become or admire the 'hero', in a classical sense. Beware, the page count is not the amount of time this book will take you. I found myself, like with many books of its like, setting it down after various passages to just ruminate on what I have read. A fantastic book for discussion, too.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Thought provoking
*by A***Y on 14 June 2024*

A little heavy in places but the book does a good job of repeating the main premise and keeping it on course. The main premise is quite easy to understand and I like this about the book. The examples he gives and the references to mental health , religions etc seem irrelevant but it al makes sense ( kind of) in the end If you are looking for a Once upon a time book then this is not for you, however if you want answers to more philosophical questions then jump in
