In this video, you will learn the 7 Key Ideas from Tribe by Sebastian Junger Get the book - amzn.to/36xBO0I #military #tribe #veteran TRIBE by Sebastian Junger | Book Summary
Summary: Ever since moving into cities, we have cut off our inner desire of belonging. We no longer rely on our neighbours as we did when we lived in tribes of 150. Even when going to work most of us take cars, buses or trains which are enclosed boxes and arrive to work which is a slightly bigger box with windows and return home, a process that shut us off from a deep desire to belong and interrelatedness. This causes depression which is much more prevalent in affluent societies rather than what we consider to be primitive tribes. When we make progress as a group, we feel a surge of feel good chemicals that promote our sense of well-being and foundational mental health. We deeply desire to know that we can rely on others. Brotherhood is helping and in turn being helped to achieve goals to the members of your close group. When people feel needed and like they belong, they tend to flourish in society. On the opposite side, contempt is the most destructive and toxic emotion there is because you are essentially cutting off a part of yourself that you don’t recognise. Lesson: Find or even build your own tribe and push each other when one of you falls down and struggles to get up.
To think that it's been FOUR (4) years since someone found this analysis, and/or thought it merited acknowledgement with a reply, is both enlightening and disappointingly instructive, to the extent of society's disconnectedness on addressing matters fundamental to the development of a "THERAPEUTICALLY NURTURING" Societal Network ("TRIBE")!!!
@@kjmwtube I completely forgot about this comment, appreciate you responding and sharing your energy with me. Lightened up my mood! Happy to connect on Discord or something if that's something you use
Thanks Brendan, I've been interested in checking out this book after seeing the many positive reviews on Audible. I came across your channel after your fantastic interview with Robert Greene. Keep up the great work and thanks for you for your service, buddy!
I bothered to get this guy's book, TRIBE, on Audible but returned it because how disappointing it was. Though he starts off with a disclaimer on how his use of certain terms are very controversial, such as referring to Indigenous Native Americans as "Indians", I just couldn't get past how he nonetheless disregarded the significantly negative connotations this slur has. I guess it's easy to justify such language when the writer himself is from an affluent, suburban New England upbringing. Yes, very disappointing indeed.
Great content;! Thank you for addressing this subject matter; the world needs more of this type of priority.
Thanks for watching!
This was so helpful, thank you so much!
Glad it was helpful!
