EARTH AT A CROSSROAD: The Psychology of Evil and Violence

Reading Group moderated by Peggy Firestone, M.Ed., A.M.

The world is in upheaval. We will investigate three books that consider why and how we got here. The first two books focus on the psychological source of evil and violence, while the third charts an alternative. We will meet monthly from April 18, 2011 to December 17, 2012 and cover each book in depth. The seminar will meet 21 times and will take over a year to complete. If you live outside of Chicago, we will have 10 slots available for video conferencing and have post-meeting discussions using a secure blog. I hope, that as your understanding accrues, you let questions remain unanswered and available for ongoing perusal.
