Sarah’s Reviews > Tribe: On Homecoming and Belonging > Status Update

This book compares modern society to past social norms. The author finds that wars and tribalism tend to bring people closer together. Whether it is the natives or old communities in Europe, people had lower suicidal rates and better mental health rates than during times of peace. The communal aspect of life is important—the more individualistic or monetarily well off people become the more people suffer mentally.
