Tribe: On Homecoming and Belonging by Sebastian Junger

5.0

---

Short and crucial read to our survival and emotional well-being. This book is about more than the past. It’s about where we’re heading as a society if we keep it up. We live in a world of connection, yet we are as distant from one another as possible. There are few ways to voice opposition or take out aggression without fear of being a social outcast. We have lost our way in American society. This book explains so much of veteran behavior. Why do people miss being in war? Friendship, family, loyalty, a sense of belonging and a place where you have a tribe with a code of honor. Coming home is not an introduction to that. It is a step away and a leap into an individualistic society.
