He was bleeding out… and didn’t even know he was dying.
In this powerful conversation, war journalist and bestselling author Sebastian Junger shares the moment he came face-to-face with death and what he discovered on the other side.
From a sudden internal hemorrhage to a near-death experience that challenged everything he believed, Junger takes us deep into the edge between life and death… and back again.
But this episode isn’t just about dying, it’s about how to live.
Here’s what you’ll take away:
- Why facing death can completely reset your priorities
- What near-death experiences reveal about consciousness
- Why modern life is making us feel more alone than ever
- The hidden power of “tribe” and human connection
- A simple question that can change how you live every day
This isn’t just about dying. It’s about finally understanding how to live.
