ICYMI: Pt 1 of 2 - The Story of Writing the Big Book Is More Amazing Than You Ever Knew With Bill Schaberg, Author of Writing the Big Book
I love this episode and its so far in the back of the catalogue, you may not have seen it, especially if you are a new listener. I got the privilege of interviewing William Schaberg, author of the book, "Writing the Big Book." To me, it's the definitive history of the period when Bill write the Big Book of Alcoholics Anonymous. Here is what we discuss:
- The genesis of the why he wrote the book
- Bill W’s realization of why a book was written
- Bill W’s original plan to help alcoholics recover
- Hank Pankhurst - the founder that drank and how there would be no Big Book without him
- The Oxford Group - how the originals got sober
- Bill Schaberg’s controversial take on who should be on the AA Mount Rushmore
