The Power and Charisma of Gurus

Omslag till Anthony Storr: Feet Of Clay (ePUB)

How do gurus get their power? Gurus are extraordinary individuals who attract fanatical followers and wield incredible and at times destructive control over them. In this remarkable study, Anthony Storr, the acclaimed author of Solitude and Music and the Mind, examines why we are so enthralled with these dogmatic figures who satisfy our need for certainty. Taking as his examples such diverse figures as Jesus, Sigmund Freud, Ignatius Loyola, and David Koresh, Storr traces the typical patternsoften involving psychotic illnessthat shape the gurus development, and reveals how certain gurus become monsters while others become spiritual beacons.
