In this episode, I connect with Dr. Richard Boothby. This is the fourth episode exploring his wonderful book, Embracing the Void: Rethinking the Origin of the Sacred. Rick is a professor of philosophy at Loyola University Maryland. He is the author of several books, including Blown Away: Refinding Life After My Son's Suicide.
