He has written and published nine books including: Glass Bones:&amp;nbsp; Art Mortality and the Human Mind (2026) (the subject of this podcast); In the Shadow of Sun Mountain: The Psychology of Othering and the Origins of Evil (2026); Rupture: The Creative Response to Death Anxiety (Fall 2026); Chemical Pictures (2020) and others. Quinn also produces an ongoing video series: The Creative Mind &amp;amp; Mortality:&amp;nbsp; Artists &amp;amp; Anxiety on his YouTube channel.&amp;nbsp; The project examines how creatives metabolize their existential struggles through making, in contrast to what Otto Rank called the artiste manque--those who feel the same pressure of existence but lack a generative outlet.
