Anyone here read this famous book by Ernest Becker, on the subject of the unavoidable aspect of life?

Yep.

I know this is an old thread, but just finishing the book.

It's an amazing work.

Mind blowing stuff. Becker was a truly great thinker, and his reading of Rank is fascinating. It's re-framed my understanding/and interest in psychoanalysis.

And I will be getting everything I can of Becker's.
