The length of the text lines is too long for easy reading, but they get more text on each page making it possible for the publisher to use fewer pages.But worse is the fact that the text contains way too many typos that actually make it difficult to get the meaning of the sentence..I generally admire Creative Commons, but their effort here is a failure.

This work by Sigmund Freud is worth reading, however I cannot agree with his views. He argues that man was happier in pre-historical times when we were free to act on our instincts without cultural controls over our behavior. Think what society would be like with no rules or standards of behavior? Do whatever you wish, no matter how immoral or cruel it is. Would you want to live in such a society?

Seems as if it has even been proofed, there are so many spelling errors from coping it over. Literally a random $ in the middle of a paragraph and many words that only have like two letters of the intended word; "nat" (that), "if" (it), etc... not to mention the simply random letters and symbols that appear throughout the text.

I puposely ordered the version for the translator. However this version is FULL of typos to the point that it is hard to follow. Freud's work is challenging enough as it is. Apparently this version is manufactured by Amazon and published by Indiebooks. Not impressed.

This is a must read for anyone seeking to understand the basis for the gender revolution. It's all right here. Even though Freud's theories of psychoanalysis have been debunked, he has a a lot of insight into human nature.

I return to another look into Sigmund Freud's mind. After being away from his inner thought process after 9 years in other words when I was 12 years old and read Interpretation of Dreams.I must say I loved reading his all over the place thought process in this one. Unlike my previous experience of his work.Sigmund Freud begins by relating the discontents most people have that actually spring forth out of our search for happiness all superimposed with a vast level of complexity. In this there are several paths open to people and whether they succeed in gaining happiness or a lowering of pain in their life in the end depends on them and their natural constitution.Next Sigmund Freud goes into great detail on how civilization developed. He makes it aware that to get to where we are there were likely many sacrifices for man and in turn there are still many. Many of these cause mental and emotional disturbances for us and are seemingly stoked thanks in part to too many restrictions by society. One of the main ones that Sigmund Freud brings up is civilized sexual morality. Which in opinion, while it does have some truth I also think this is only but one of several factors in that discussion.Amongst his heavy use of harsh realistic truths he still invariably comes off as impartial. Something I couldn't help but sense. And I wonder if I was the only one? The thing that worried me was whether this impartiality came from a pure sense of wanting to be like that or if he had perhaps given up on humanity. I seriously hope it was the former rather than the latter.Even so, I heavily enjoyed further reading from Sigmund Freud. A lot of what he touched upon gives clearer insight into the ways of life for us now and not to mention his predictions are spot-on, but most important of all a lot of it was full of logic.

The first work by Freud that I've ever read. I found his writing clear, precise. I now have great respect for his groundbreaking work. Despite the fact that the field of psychotherapy and research into mental illnesses have refuted some of his theories, that is to be expected as science and medicine expands our knowledge of human beings and how our attitudes are formed. Freud was a genius, and his search for understanding of the human condition laid the foundation for the researchers who followed in his footsteps or who chose to refute his conclusions. I bought this book along with a collection of Nietzche's writings, and found Freud far superior in intellect and a more gifted writer.

Difficult read given the redundant and uneconomic sentence structure... but this book fortunately includes all of Freuds most classic ideas and terms, so it becomes an easy read if one is already familiar with his arguments.
