“Sebastian Junger on What Being Near Death Taught Him About Life”

Sebastian Junger is a master storyteller whose vast body of work speaks to our humanity and collectivism – loyalty, belonging, meaning, connection - and what we lose without them. Junger joins us to talk about what he's learned from war, history, and a near-death experience, and that whether as physicians or soldiers, we ultimately strive to live "in a world where human relations are entirely governed by whether you can trust the other person with your life."
