Man's Greatest Fear (ePub)

Award-Winner of the Best New eBook Non-Fiction category of the 2012 International Book Awards and finalist in the psychology category of Dan Poynter's Global eBook Awards, Dr. Thomas M. Lister's Man's Greatest Fear: The Final Phase of Human Evolution is a must read for anyone who cares about the survival of humankind on our planet. Lister's work examines man's endless quest for power and destruction. In explaining the primordial motivation of man that continually stirs the cauldron of conflict throughout the world, he uses the war in the Middle East as a case study to exemplify man's addiction to war, his relentless destruction of the environment, and his universal domination of woman. Albert Einstein warned, 'It will take a whole new manner of thinking for mankind to survive.' Given man's lust for war, he is not capable of changing the way in which he thinks. This new manner of thinking, to which Einstein refers, is unattainable; however, for woman it is natural, if not instinctive. For humankind to avoid extinction, woman must break the bonds of man's religious and societal dogma and harness his destructive nature. Woman can bring about the salvation of man and our species. As Canadian physician Augusta Stowe-Gullen (1857-1943) predicted, 'When women have a voice in national and international affairs, war will cease forever.' Man, no longer able to wage war, is controlled by woman and herein lies his greatest fear: man's domination by woman. Through careful historical research, Lister examines humanity's history of violence in relation to current events to explain subconscious motives beneath man's endless quest for domination. By turning Freudian psychoanalysis inside out, Dr. Lister argues achievable solutions through the inclusion of women and male environmentalists in leadership roles. He hopes to educate and stir the public into action with his powerful explanation as to what, exactly, man's greatest fear is and why it must be made a reality in order for humankind to escape extinction.
