Be Necessary with war journalist Sebastian Junger

from A Bit of Optimism · host iHeartPodcasts

War reporters risk their lives to document conflict. And yet, after a career living on battlefields, Sebastian Junger's closest brush with death was surviving an aneurysm. Sebastian's story of his sudden internal hemorrhage and making sense of what he saw while dying is the subject of his new book In My Time of Dying. As someone who usually writes as an outside observer, it's an atypical and personal exploration of death. I was privileged to speak with Sebastian about the fragility of life and why being necessary to others is one of our highest needs of all.  This...is A Bit of Optimism.
