Tribe: On Homecoming and Belonging Free Audiobook Download by Sebastian Junger
Sebastian Junger, a veteran of the war in Afghanistan, has written a book that is full of powerful story-telling. The audiobook version of this work is also powerful and helps to create a sense of community with the author.
"The idea of homecoming is powerful. We've tried to escape it for centuries, but it keeps coming back," Junger said. "You never really leave your tribe." In his book, Junger looks at warfare, political violence and how people connect with each other through war and violence in their attempts to find a sense of belonging and identity that was taken away from them.
"Tribe" is a book that's meant to be listened to. It takes you on an audio journey through the life of Sebastian Junger and his thoughts on returning home from war, and the importance of belonging. Junger has done extensive field research into how our bodies have adapted to living in the modern world. His research has led him to believe that we are evolving back into more primitive forms, which gives credence to his thoughts on the value of returning home.
Sebastian Junger's latest book is about how humans are more connected than ever and how we should embrace that. The author, who spent time as a New York Times war correspondent, is trying to re-create the bonds of tribe in modern society. Junger advocates for finding "home" somewhere outside our homes and returning to the tribe when we feel disconnected.
When I was seven, my father walked away from our family. My mother and I moved back to the US and raised my two brothers and me by ourselves. For years, we were inseparable. We had a tribe that was small but strong. Now, as an adult, I continue to search for that feeling of belonging-and a way to reconnect with the people who have shaped me in significant ways.
In "Tribe", Sebastian Junger shares his personal experiences, thoughts and opinions on the topic of homecoming and belonging. Junger grew up feeling like he never belonged anywhere and eventually came to terms with the idea that home is an idea more than anything else. Home is the place where we are loved and we love back. All throughout this audiobook Junger shares one of his favorite quotes from Dostoevsky, "Home is a house with a front door and back windows."
