Rainn Wilson sits down with acclaimed journalist, author, and war correspondent Sebastian Junger to discuss his harrowing near-death experience, the mysteries of consciousness, and the human connection to mortality. Sebastian recounts his brush with death caused by a ruptured aneurysm and the profound vision of his late father that challenged his atheistic worldview.

This episode is a powerful exploration of what it means to face mortality and find meaning in our fleeting existence. Whether you’re a spiritual seeker or a science enthusiast, this conversation will leave you questioning the nature of reality and your own place in it.
