#^Why Humans Require Community For Well-Being | Sebastian Junger

Today's interview is a special one, and a continuation of Thoughtful Money's exploration of other important forms of wealth beyond money.

As those who live to be 100 years old tell us, true wealth, the things that really matter in life, are a function of the following three things: fulfilling relationships, purpose and health.

Today's discussion will deliver hard on those first two, explaining how humans are evolutionarily wired for meaningful interaction with other humans, oftentimes in pursuit of a greater societal good.

When we do this, we are truly "alive" in the way nature created us to be.
So perhaps the modern epidemic of loneliness, anxiety, depression and demoralization is a predictable outcome of today's cultural dominance of the virtual, the partisan, and the superficial.

To help us better understand our evolutionary need for tribal connection and thereby our path towards authentic living, we have the great privilege of being joined today by National Magazine & Peabody Award-winning author, Sebastian Junger.

You may know him from his book The Perfect Storm which became a Hollywood movie featuring George Clooney, Mark Wahlberg & Diane Lane. He's also written a number of other best-sellers including Fire, War, Tribe, Freedom and most recently In My Time of Dying.
