Civilization and Its Discontents Audiobook (Free)

First posted in 1930, Civilization and its own Discontents is among the most influential works of pioneering psychologist Sigmund Freud. Concentrating on the stress between your primitive drives of the individual and the needs of civilization for purchase and conformity, Freud pulls upon his psychoanalytic ideas to explain the essential structures, conflicts, and implications of culture. Written in the aftermath of World War I, Civilization and Its Discontents increases the idea that human beings’ instinctive desires-violent urges and sexual drives-create the need for rules and framework, which, when applied, create constant emotions of discontent. A seminal work in mindset, Civilization and its own Discontents has sparked debate since its publication and continues to be widely read today. This release may be the translation by Adam Strachey.
