Awareness of death is not everyone's favorite pastime. An interview with the Ernest Becker Foundation.
Do you feel numbed by reports of pandemic death tolls in the hundreds of thousands?
Do thoughts of mortality make you reach for a distraction of any kind?
There's a good reason that death is uncomfortable to think about. We all have to face it some day. Ernest Becker gave this problem a new dimension in his 1973 book The Denial of Death. In this episode of COVID Demoted we interview Deborah Jacobs and Lyla Rothschild of the Ernest Becker Foundation about death anxiety in the time of COVID.
