In his final years, Freud devoted most of his energies to a series of highly ambitious works on the broadest issues of religion and society. Here, he argues that civilised values - and the impossible ideals of Christianity - inevitably distort our natural aggression and impose a terrible burden of guilt.

Civilization and Its Discontents is one of the most famous and widely read books by Sigmund Freud. Freud wrote it in 1929, and it was first published in German in 1930. In this book, Freud dilates upon the essential tensions between civilization and the individual and how some frictions emerge between them. This is a very interesting read and anyone who is interested in psychoanalysis, or Freudian point of view in genera should read this book !
