Reading The True Believer: Thoughts on the Nature of Mass Movements | Alexandria
Read The True Believer: Thoughts on the Nature of Mass Movements by Eric Hoffer. Revealing how fanatics are made, not born, Hoffer exposes the universal allure of mass movements - showing that true believers aren't drawn by doctrine, but by the promise of a fresh start. Hoffer's radical insight? The passionate activist and religious zealot share the same psychological DNA, making his thesis eerily relevant today.
