Join Plato's Cave philosophers and UU Inquiring Minds this Sunday morning, December 22, 2019 at 9:00.

Greetings,

The holidays can be an especially sensitive time including both ends of the emotional spectrum: from joy to sadness and depression.

"Death by Despair": Are American Men Dying from Desperation?

The US economy seems to be booming, but the death rate for white males is rising. The trend is influenced by alcohol and drug abuse (opiods), plus suicide rates. Also, the geography is focused on the USA Heartland, where middle-aged white men without college degrees have lost jobs in mining and manufacturing. Join us for StoicDan's lecture and Q&A on "Death by Despair". We'll discuss how the USA is divided by income and opportunities, and we'll cover the risk factors for male suicide rates (struggling with social isolation, coping with emotions, and lacking meaningful relationships).

Join the Inquiring Minds discussion – be educated; be wise.

Coffee? Yes.
