Description

Around nine o’clock on a June night four years ago, Sebastian Junger, bestselling author of “The Perfect Storm” and co-director of the Oscar-nominated documentary “Restrepo,” lay on an operating table, dying. He survived, but this near-death experience inspired him to embark on a scientific, philosophical, and profoundly personal exploration of what happens after we die. His new book is “In My Time of Dying: How I Came Face to Face with the Idea of an Afterlife.”
