People feel better psychologically if they have more involvement with their community. When people are engaged in a cause they feel their lives have purpose.

To me it seems obvious but this book uses these truths to explain depression and suicide in military vets even those who don’t have ptsd. When they come back, their lives get “better” in terms of safety, opportunities, etc. and yet they feel worse.
