In this episode of Conversations with Tom, Sebastian Junger shares insights from his book "Freedom." He contends that freedom transcends mere rights; it's a fundamental human value that demands the ability to defend oneself against both internal and external oppression. Junger examines the historical backdrop of freedom, discussing the importance of military strength and the delicate balance between compassion and social responsibility. He also reflects on personal experiences, such as a life-threatening aneurysm and a journey with friends, emphasizing the significance of mental and physical resilience, communal connections, and the complex relationships between men and women as they face life's challenges.
