Synopsis
In this book Hoffer gives us a brilliant, provocative dissection of modern man under stress of emotion. Here is a mirror held up in which everyone must see himself, as he wishes to be and as he is - a creature moved by love, hate, fear, forever torn as the constant and unavoidable traffic between good and evil goes on. Eric Hoffer is not comfortable reading. Rather, he is a "harsh and potent mental tonic," to quote one critic, because he strips each of us of our favorite disguises and conceits. What he offers in return is increased self-awareness, "without which" - as he explains - "there can be neither sensitivity, self-cultivation, intellectual integrity, nor a genuine feeling for one's fellow men." The extraordinary perception and insight, the "wry epigram and icy aphorism," which made "The True Believer" so notable, are present also in "The Passionate State of Mind." It is exciting reading fare for those who can bear the burden of self-knowledge.

From the Publisher
Eric Hoffer--philosopher, author of the timeless tome The True Believer, and a truly great American thinker--leaves us with an insightful collection of aphorisms, many of which you have heard and perhaps quote but do not know the source. Hoffer is the source.
From the Author
If anybody asks me what I have accomplished, I will say all I have accomplished is that I have written a few good sentences.
