The Birth and Death of Meaning: An Interdisciplinary Perspective on the Problem of Man Parts 1 & 2
Dr. Brian Bowdle is a Psyche prof at Grand Valley State University, where Common Threads originates. He's also a good friend. One evening we're together, & start talking about finding meaning in life. Then he brings up a book, "The Birth and Death of Meaning: An Interdisciplinary Perspective on the Problem of Man " by Ernest Becker. I'd never read the book, but it sounded intriguing. He lent it to me, & after I finished it I told him that this was a good fit for the show. So that's how it ended up here. Enjoy.
Recorded in 2016. Theme music "Nigal."
