Summary

What does it really mean to be free? Historian Timothy Snyder says most Americans think of freedom as some sort of barrier, like prison walls or the government preventing you from being free. In his latest book, “On Freedom,” he’s hoping people will think of freedom in a more positive light, like the freedom to choose grace, honesty and integrity, and the power to change the world. Using real world examples, he challenges us to change our perception of freedom, and shows how that will transform society for the better.
