Temper of Our Time
Temper of Our Time | Eric Hoffer
1 post | 2 read
Eric Hoffer--one of America's most important thinkers and the author of The True Believer--lived for years as a Depression Era migratory worker. Self-taught, his appetite for knowledge--history, science, mankind--formed the basis of his insight to human nature. The Temper of Our Time examines the influence of the juvenile mentality, the rise of automation, the black revolution, the regression of the back-to-nature movement, the intellectual vs. learning, and other relevent issues.

"If we are to awaken and cultivate the talents dormant in our whole population, we must change our conception of what is. Up to now we are warned not to waste our time but we are brought up to waste our lives."
