In "Tribe," Sebastian Junger explores the powerful human need to belong. Drawing on history, psychology, and anthropology, Junger examines why soldiers returning from war often miss the intense bonds of their platoons and why modern society struggles with feelings of alienation. He argues that humans evolved to live in small, tightly knit communities, and that this tribal connection offers essential benefits for mental health and overall well-being. "Tribe" challenges readers to reconsider the values of modern society and rediscover the importance of community in a world that increasingly prioritizes individualism. The book delves into the rates of PTSD and suicide in veterans, as well as the feelings of isolation experienced by many people in modern society. Ultimately, Junger offers a compelling argument for how we can build stronger communities and foster a sense of belonging in our lives.
