This is a reading of the book, "The Worm at the Core: On the Role of Death in Life" by Sheldon Solomon, Jeff Greenberg, and Tom Pyszczynski. Quinn will read a chapter every week and then have a discussion about it. This book, along with "The Denial of Death" by Ernest Becker is the basis for Quinn's (photographic) book, "In the Shadow of Sun Mountain: The Psychology of Othering and the Genesis of Evil."
The First Reading of: The Worm at the Core
For those that responded to this idea, thank you. I had enough interest in a reading of this book to make it worthwhile. I have no doubt you’ll enjoy this read. As a creative person, you’ll gain fodder and ideas. On top of that, it’s something I believe every human being should have a basic understanding of—the theories and evidence to support them are life-changing.
Join me next Saturday, March 18, 2023, at 1000 MST for the first reading of "The Worm at the Core: On the Role of Death in Life." I'll be reading the introduction and the first chapter. Then we'll have a discussion about it. This is one of the books that I've based my new work on. I think you'll get a lot out of it, both as an artist and especially as a human being.
You can download the PDF of the book here.
