oceanday8 's review for:

Tribe: On Homecoming and Belonging by Sebastian Junger

4.0

Thought provoking. However, as soon as I thought I was getting "into" the meat of the book, it ended. It's a quick read and only begins to touch on so many possible topics of interest. I enjoyed it and would recommend it to others. I particularly appreciated learning about the study on happiness. There are three common denominators for leading a "happy" life: competence, authenticity and community. Beyond meeting basic needs, money, power, status, fame do not contribute to happiness.
