 Becker wrote three masterpieces in the last three years of his short life. In the middle chapters of The Birth and Death of Meaning (1971), he explains the why and how of self esteem, the "dominant motive of humankind." In these two high school lectures Sheldon Solomon captures in his irresistible style the essence of these basic building blocks for understanding the mature Becker in his subsequent books Denial of Death and Escape From Evil.

The Psychological Underpinnings of Supernatural Beliefs
Fantasy of flight is a universal human experience. Is there something psychologically significant that underlies this, and all humankind's lofty aspirations? Sheldon Solomon asks this in a UW talk. In considering this he challenges those who cavalierly assert that religion is just an epiphenomenon to be thrown out. He also advances preliminary evidence that flight imagery can be therapeutic for sufferers of PTSD. A handout is included with the DVD.
