Tribe: On Homecoming and Belonging

Tribe: On Homecoming and Belonging

Sebastian Junger

As we get ready to celebrate the holidays with our families, I think this book could not be more important. Understanding the importance of our tribe is critical to our lives right now. Do you act in a way that things about the benefit of your tribe as a whole? Are there people in your life who do? Sometimes we are too focused on our individual lot in life at the expense of our tribe. Making sure the needs of our entire tribe are being met is the easiest way to ensure our own needs are being met. As holiday frustrations inevitably set in, take some time to reflect on your tribe this year. They might be family, friends, neighbors, or co-workers. Be sure to thank them.
