What You MUST DO to PROTECT Your FREEDOM | Sebastian Junger

Published: July 22, 2021, 12:30 p.m.

Regardless of where you live, societies are feeling the threat against certain freedoms and are fighting back. Humans innately don\u2019t want to be oppressed or censored by larger, more powerful and dominant groups. But exactly how do you define your freedom? Is your freedom tied to your \u201crights'' or is your freedom independent of that? Sebastian Junger, best selling author, Afghanistan war correspondent and more has authored a new book, Freedom, that will leave you shocked, perplexed and challenged in many ways. In this conversation, he and Tom take a deep dive into freedom, what it means for different societies, how smaller groups are able to give larger groups and armies hell, and are willing to risk their lives for their freedom. Sebastian also shares his 400 mile experience walking through America with a group of friends and reflects on different feelings of freedom. His more recent near death experience will shock you and give you yet another perspective of freedom worth fighting for Order Sebastian Junger\u2019s new book, Freedom: https://amzn.to/3rr8tP1 \n\nSHOW NOTES: \n0:00 | Introduction \n1:06 | What is Freedom? \n2:49 | Defend Your Freedom \n6:04 | Balancing Opposing Sides \n8:12 | Root of the Word Freedom \n10:51 | 10,000 miles for Defense \n15:40 | Society Safe in Numbers \n20:19 | Value of Physical Strength \n25:12 | Small Fighter Advantage \n31:14 | Culture of Honor \n41:07 | Agriculture Control \n48:04 | Autonomy vs Comfort \n53:12 | Social Primate PTSD \n58:31 | Importance of Physical Contact \n1:03:45 | A Weird 400 Mile Trip \n1:06:39 | Seeking Out Challenges \n1:08:54 | Freedom Along Gender Lines \n1:17:00 | Lessons Raising Girls \n1:21:31 | Near Death Experience \n1:27:32 | Giving Meaning to Death \n1:29:04 | Discussing His Next Book \n1:32:34 | Relationship to Fear\xa0\n\nCheck out our sponsors: \nButcher Box: Go to butcherbox.com/IMPACT Get 2 five-ounce lobster tails and 2 ten-ounce ribeye steaks all FREE in your first box. \nRISE: Go to risescience.com/impact and download the RISE app today to try it FREE for 7 days. \nPaleo Valley: Visit paleovalley.com and enter code impact for 15% OFF your first order. \nInsideTracker: Get 25% off their entire store at insidetracker.com/impacttheory \nLambs: Go to GetLambs.com and use code IMPACT for 20% OFF at checkout. \n\nAre You Ready for EXTRA Impact?\nIf you\u2019re ready to find true fulfillment, strengthen your focus, and ignite your true potential, the Impact Theory subscription was created just for you.\nWant to transform your health, sharpen your mindset, improve your relationship, or conquer the business world?
