Description
Sebastian Junger and I discuss his search for purpose as a young man; his 1997 best-seller, The Perfect Storm, that put him on the map; his high risk years as a war reporter; the aneurism that nearly killed him; becoming a father late in life; and what he calls the “escape from the tyranny of self-interest.” A riveting and thought-provoking introduction to a journalist you’ll be seeing more of in his new role as a Contributor to 60 Minutes. Our conversation was recorded live at the 2023 Nantucket Book Festival (which just celebrated its 15th year!)
