A self-educated man, Eric Hoffer was most likely born in 1898. He wrote in his spare time after doing shifts on the San Francisco docks, where he continued to work, even after becoming a successful author. Hoffer began writing The True Believer in the 1940s, as Nazism and fascism spread across Europe. Most analysts who were trying to work out how these movements became so powerful focused on their leaders and the ideas they trumpeted.

Hoffer not analyzed
- De Lawrence A. en 09-20-16
Not a summary. More of a professor's review.

Any additional comments?
I got this thinking it would be a summary of Eric Hoffer's book. But it was more of a sociologists/professor's review of the book. The narrator discusses a lot about what was going on in the world at the time the book was written. Nice info to have, but I really wanted the content of the actual book. I ordered it from my phone, and didn't notice that it is an "analysis," not a summary.
I only made it through about 30 minutes of this version. I tried to skip ahead to see if there was more about the original book content. If it was there, I couldn't find it.

Life can be crazy with the demands of the world pressing against our every moment, but there's hope. Writing and authorship might not be for everyone, but how do you know if you never give it a try? From start to finish, Think, Write, Publish will help you along the way. From coming up with book ideas to finding pockets of time in the day to do the writing itself, everything is covered.

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?
This is a great book for anyone interested in self-publishing a novel. It is split in to several major parts. First very general information for writing, then the specifics of self-publishing and marketing.
What did you like best about this story?
The "how to write" part is very general. No great inspiration there for someone who is actively writing a novel.
However, the author goes into very specific detail about the precise steps needed to publish and market a book. He gives step-by-step detail. I found that extremely helpful information (even if a bit hard to absorb from an audio book.) The author has a .pdf he gives us access to.
I have done a lot of research into self-publishing and marketing my first novel. This is the most complete resource I have found for those two topics.
Any additional comments?
The author writes inspirational romance novels. As I am also writing a romance series, I found him extremely helpful. People who are looking to write more literary novels and may find the information a bit too commercial.
