Be Necessary with war journalist Sebastian Junger | A Bit of Optimism Podcast

In this video, I appreciate that Simon knows when NOT to speak. It helps Sebatiian's story shine. So many vidcasts hosts can't/dont know how to listen. Last 5 minutes of this 🤯

What a fantastic message. To be necessary is to hold yourself to the highest standards. To be trusted, to be interdependent, to be loved. To defend our neighbor as family is immeasurable. To live a selfless life, to support your home so you can support others outside of it is honorable. To be bestowed honor through acts of integrity, of kindness, of humility, is to know the deepest kind of love.

I finished In My Time of Dying in a day and a half. Junger is a phenomenal storyteller.

Understanding and discussing near-death experiences and the essence of leading a meaningful life with honor is crucial in today's society. In our busy lives, especially in relationships, we often overlook the importance of truly seeing and hearing our loved ones. This interview is a wonderful opportunity to remind us all to say to our dear ones, "I see you, I hear you, I'm with you." Thank you to everyone involved for the great conversations and teamwork that made this interview possible.

This was an interesting interview & yet the whole time it kept tugging at my heart that Sebastian does not believe in God. Everything he has been through, seeing the dark pit & facing death, his experiences with those men fighting, willing to give up his life for others, seeing the unity as tragedy strikes & people help each other…God is in all of that. Sebastian, such a “Man” speaking of everything I love & value in a man, except his lack of knowing the deepest love he could ever know, Christ. He experiences it through his service to others and with others but he is not seeing it. Sebastian, I pray you come to “know” Christ. It’s not about religion…it’s about His love for you. Thank you for serving us & showing men how to be a real man. 🙏🏻 😊

This is great I recently read "Tribe" as recommended by a friend. I'm 39, no siblings and by 32 my grandparents and parents were gone and I've been effectively deserted by most of my extended family. I have had to dig deep into concepts like death (including my own thanks to a couple near misses) and being of service in order to regain any sense of belonging or meaning in this world. Sinek and Junger is a super powerful combination. Glad you made this happen 🙏🏼

I like to think there is life after death and I know there is. In my teenage years I often would go out look at the sky and say if God your real somehow let me know through signs or somehow do I know you exist. He did believe it or not. When you ago sincerely from your heart God delivers. So I made a promise to myself that I will never question of existence of most high God. 🙏

Qu’est-ce que tu veux Simon?

From my perspective, it's not counter evolution to sacrifice her or himself for the others and eliminating those genes. We overcame it by stories. Hearing about someone like this, can reach more people than genes due to how society is built. This interview is one part of it too Thanks a lot
