This interview remains the best primer & introduction to understanding the fear of death that I know of. I'm still working my way through Sheldon Solomon's book recommendations. Highly recommend reading this interview!: https://fivebooks.com/best-books/fear-of-death-sheldon-solomon/ #fearofdeath #mortalitysalience #deathterror
