Publisher's Synopsis
Based substantially on Ernest Becker's 1974 Pulitzer Prize winning "The Denial of Death," this book promotes the establishment of a revolutionary cultural system, the "Genuine Hero System," that satisfies the human need to overcome the stark reality of death while also advancing the establishment of an enlightened society. "The Human Manifesto" argues that unless such a system is adopted, the human species will continue to be motivated to engage in destructive or trivial behavior that falls short in enabling individuals to attain genuine happiness and fulfillment.
