In this episode of Battlegrounds , H.R. McMaster and Sebastian Junger discuss the necessity of unity, the importance of the tribe, and the future of American democracy, Wednesday, November 8, 2023. Award-winning journalist, bestselling author, and documentary filmmaker Sebastian Junger joins Senior Fellow H.R. McMaster to explore the lessons that can be drawn from his books on the necessity of unity and the importance of the tribe for the future of American democracy. Reflecting on his own observations about war, society, and freedom, Junger discusses how civilians can better understand the experiences of those who fight on their behalf, the importance of shared responsibility and communal values, and how Western societies can regain a sense of belonging.

DAV's Brian Buckwalter sits down with Sebastian Junger, author of Tribe and other works, to discuss the civilian-military divide and what veterans should know about fostering community. Brian and Sebastian participated in a DAV Distinguished Speaker Series at Harvard Law School.

Eric and Brad open up the episode by talking about the issues that they had transitioning from the military/private contracting world back to the civilian world. Following that, Eric and Brad are joined by New York Times Best-selling author Sebastian Junger to talk about change throughout his illustrious career. Junger discusses how he wrote his initial claim to fame, "The Perfect Storm" which became the motion picture of the same name, and the gritty, real-world stories that followed, many of which involving soldiers in war. The group discusses tribal mentalities, freedom, and the many intimidating changes they have experienced throughout their lives. Junger's body of work is far from his literary works, and also includes documentaries, multiple TED Talks, being a guest on podcasts to include The Tim Ferriss Show & The Joe Rogan Experience, and much more. Junger has since started a nonprofit organization called "Vets Town Hall" where he invites veterans of all wars to share their personal stories with the public, and coincidentally was how Project Headspace and Timing started in the first place, after Eric was referred to Junger's book "Tribe."

Freedom is a hot topic in 2021 as the pandemic continues to challenge everything we thought we knew. Author Sebastian Junger digs deep into the concept of freedom and how all of human history has contributed to the value of freedom today. Sebastian Junger is an award-winning journalist and New York Times bestselling author. His books include: A Death in Belmont , Fire , The Perfect Storm , Tribe , and War . After reporting on the war in eastern Afghanistan, Sebastian shifted to making documentaries about American soldiers and their stories. His debut film, Restrepo received an Academy Award nomination, and he won the Grand Jury Prize for the film at Sundance. After spending years traveling across the country and around the world, Sebastian started a family, and he began to see many of the things he'd experienced in life through a different lens. The mundane nature of family life, in contrast to the drive and ambition of a young person gives him a unique perspective on the question of freedom and what it means to live a full life. Pieces of life that once made less sense suddenly come into focus. In our interview, he explains that the comfort of his family "allows for me to love in the most profound, powerful, beautiful way possible. I didn't know there were feelings like this." He reflects on his time in Africa during the Liberian civil war how he witnessed parents' terror about what might happen to their children. He experienced a similar moment of clarity in his life when he almost died due to an aneurysm that burst, causing him to lose 90% of his blood. He talks about the vulnerability of life and compares it to the vulnerability of freedom. What does freedom mean to you? Is it amassing enough money that you don't have to worry about financial hardships? Or is it having no money so that you're not tied to the rat race of modern society? Or most likely, somewhere in between. Sebastian's words and anecdotes show how we are all connected throughout the human experience as he dives deep into the human condition. His book Freedom does a beautiful job of drawing lines between relationships, community and freedom. Highlights from our conversation: Hardship and love pair together to make a very meaningful life. Hardship challenges us to come together, and love gives us a sense of purpose. An important part of a community is the idea that giving is more powerful than receiving. When any given group strives to give more than they take, there is an increase in success. Our modern society is highly segmented and challenges the idea of community – children sleeping in separate bedrooms to homes and neighborhoods being segmented. Many people feel a disconnect from their family or community. They don't feel like active members in the groups they associate with because of segmentation. Enjoy! Have a question?

In this episode, we welcome back to the Leadership Under Fire Optimizing Human Performance Podcast American author, journalist, and filmmaker Sebastian Junger to discuss his latest book, Freedom. In three succinct chapters, Junger takes us on a physical and philosophical journey exploring the concept of Freedom—and the disparities that exist at its core in today’s modern society. While the book is rooted in Junger’s 400-mile journey on foot across the northeastern United States, it branches out across history and geography to dissect competing values between our human spirit longing for individuality and our basic need for community. Junger’s earlier work includes the books: Tribe and The Perfect Storm as well as the Academy Award-nominated film: Restrepo.

Sebastian Junger, author of "The Perfect Storm," "War," and "Tribe" has a new book called "Freedom." There's at least one simple truth about freedom, the more discomfort you'll accept in your life, the more options you have. As Sebastian Junger says: "If you have to take a shower every day, you will never be able to spend the night in the woods. Right? I mean, that's just a loss of voluntary loss of freedom. If you refuse to be hot or cold or hungry or tired or what have you, you really have to live your life in the sort of confines of a modern American lifestyle that is very free in some ways, but also creates a kind of dependency in almost everyone that is the opposite of freedom." SEBASTIAN JUNGER is the #1 New York Times bestselling author of THE PERFECT STORM , FIRE , A DEATH IN BELMONT , WAR , TRIBE and his newest book, FREEDOM (2021). As an award-winning journalist, a contributing editor to Vanity Fair and a special correspondent at ABC News, he has covered major international news stories around the world and has received both a National Magazine Award and a Peabody Award. Junger is also a documentary filmmaker whose debut film "Restrepo," a feature-length documentary (co-directed with Tim Hetherington), was nominated for an Academy Award and won the Grand Jury Prize at Sundance.

As our military brothers and sisters make the transition home to a nation that may genuinely support them, one’s sense of purpose is not always easy to find. As a country, we see that depression, post-traumatic stress or anxiety challenge many service members. At the same time, we see that barriers to thriving at home are not necessarily due to mental illness, rather to transitioning back to daily life. The irony is common: Community and connection can be found overseas within a unique culture of bonds, yet at times so hard to accomplish right in our own back yards. To dial in and learn more on service and the human connection, we sat with acclaimed author and director Sebastian Junger (The Perfect Storm, War, A Death In Belmont). As a combat journalist and work at ABC News and Vanity Fair, Sebastian is a non-military anthropologist who has much to teach us through personal and extensive engagements with our service members overseas. If there is one book you should read before or after listening to this episode, it is Sebastian's Tribe: On Homecoming and Belonging , and while you are at it, see the documentary Restrepo . We enjoyed our visit and conversation with Sebastian at his home in Cape Cod, Massachusetts. Greeted by Daisy, the docile Junger dog, we climbed to the second floor of an A-frame annex, with books dating back centuries lining the wall. Sebastian is genuine and easy going, and it was a true pleasure to talk with him, and take some notes... Following the conversation, join us for our first Diner Debrief , a time to meet at the local diner or coffee shop and chat. We are joined by Army Warrant Officer 1, Armand K. Hunter who gives a personal perspective on our discussion, as we reflect on community, brotherhood, and coming home from war. We would like to hear from you too. Email us at Home Base Nation .
