✅ Summary

The Denial of Death by Ernest Becker explores the psychological and existential impact of human mortality. Becker argues that much of human behavior is driven by a subconscious fear of death, leading individuals to create systems of meaning, such as culture, religion, and personal achievements, in order to deny or distract from their inevitable end. The book examines how this denial shapes human life, relationships, and society, and calls for a deeper understanding of death in order to live more authentically. It won the Pulitzer Prize for General Nonfiction in 1974.
