Der Wurm in unserem Herzen: Wie das Wissen um die Sterblichkeit unser Leben beeinflusst
by Jeff Greenberg, Tom Pyszczynski, Sheldon Solomon
The book contains interesting ideas, which largely repeat Ernest Becker's. In the introduction, the authors describe their efforts to work out a scientific foundation for their theory. However, the following chapters are full of dubious claims and doubtful research findings which are never clearly described.
The authors also do not shy away from drawing on non-scientific sources that support their conclusions, which ultimately weaken them. The further you get, the more far-fetched the ideas, many of them connecting other theories - which the authors do not always seem to understand well - to their TMT-framework in a forced and deliberate way. Ultimately, this could have been a 20-page book.
