Tribe: On Homecoming and Belonging
Paperback Hardcover Audio CD Kindle EditionTribe: On Homecoming and Belonging is a book by Sebastian Junger which explores the idea of individualism in modern Western society and its impact on mental health. Junger argues that humans have a deep-seated need for community and belonging, which has been ignored in the West in favour of individualism and material success. Drawing on examples from history, anthropology and his own personal experiences, Junger highlights the benefits of living in close-knit communities, such as increased resilience, social support and a shared sense of purpose. He also examines the psychological effects of war on soldiers – many of whom report feeling more connected and fulfilled in battle than they do in civilian life – and the challenges faced by veterans when they return home. Ultimately, Tribe is a call to action for societies to prioritise community and belonging in order to address the mental health crisis that many Western countries are currently facing. Junger argues that by creating stronger social ties and a sense of shared purpose, people can experience greater fulfilment and wellbeing, leading to a happier and more harmonious society overall.
