"Becker’s recounting of Freudian psychoanalysis and the immediate and direct influences of Freud, in addition to selective biographical information and occasional laugh out loud quips - have made this book far more enjoyable than I ever would have expected. Most people see Freud and roll their eyes, I was the same way. Can’t wait to read more of his detailing of prescriptive heroism." — May 31, 2022 07:49AM

― Viktor E. Frankl, Man's Search for Meaning

― Ralph Waldo Emerson
