The True Believer: Thoughts on the Nature of Mass Movements - Book by Eric Hoffer

The True Believer: Thoughts on the Nature of Mass Movements by Eric Hoffer is a profound exploration of the psychology behind mass movements and the people who follow them. Hoffer examines how individuals are drawn to ideologies and causes, often surrendering personal identity in favor of collective identity. He delves into the characteristics of the true believer—those who are willing to sacrifice everything for a cause—and discusses how leaders manipulate these followers to achieve power. Hoffer's analysis covers political, religious, and social movements, offering insights into the nature of fanaticism and the human desire for belonging, certainty, and purpose.
