Winner of the Pulitzer Prize in 1974 and the culmination of a life's work, The Denial of Death is Ernest Becker's brilliant and impassioned answer to the "why" of human existence. In bold contrast to the predominant Freudian school of thought, Becker tackles the problem of the vital lie: man's refusal to acknowledge his own mortality. In doing so, he sheds new light on the nature of humanity and issues a call to life and its living that still resonates more than 30 years after its writing.

Would you listen to The Denial of Death again? Why?
I would listen to this book again. It is wonderfully written, much to ponder. The only problem is the reader goes to fast. The subject matter is complex. The reader goes so fast one does not have time to ponder what just slapped him/her across the face! It is delightful. A must read.

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 138
The New York Times best-selling author and trusted spiritual adviser offers a follow up to his classic Care of the Soul. Something essential is missing from modern life. Many who've turned away from religious institutions - and others who have lived wholly without religion - hunger for more than what contemporary secular life has to offer but are reluctant to follow organized religion's strict and often inflexible path to spirituality. In A Religion of One' s Own, best-selling author and former monk Thomas Moore explores the myriad possibilities of creating a personal spiritual style, either inside or outside formal religion.

Would you listen to A Religion of One's Own again? Why?
This is a culmination of knowledge formulated from caring of the soul. Listen to it if you are wanting more from life. If you have questions of religion, spirituality, and seriously think that you have outgrown your current paradigm.
Secularism is on the rise, reducing the influence between that of spirit and the Divine. This book can give insights to individuals who are seeking more than just to be born and to dye. It addresses the 'what' in the between.
