Sebastian Junger on Tribes, at Porter Square Books

We have a strong instinct to belong to small groups defined by clear purpose and understanding–“tribes.” This tribal connection has been largely lost in modern society, but regaining it may be the key to our psychological survival.

Combining history, psychology, and anthropology, Sebastian Junger’s book, Tribe: On Homecoming and Belonging, explores what we can learn from tribal societies about loyalty, belonging, and the eternal human quest for meaning.

This event is free and open to the public.
