Sebastian Junger: How tribal connection may be the key to our psychological survival

from Mandatory Fun · host Orvelin Valle

New York Times bestselling author Sebastian Junger dropped by We Are The Mighty to discuss his latest book "Tribe." Here's what the publisher says about the book: Through combining history, psychology, and anthropology, "Tribe" explores what we can learn from tribal societies about loyalty, belonging, and the eternal human quest for meaning. It explains the irony that—for many veterans as well as civilians—war feels better than peace, adversity can turn out to be a blessing, and disasters are sometimes remembered more fondly than weddings or tropical vacations. "Tribe" explains why we are stronger when we come together, and how that can be achieved even in today's divided world.
