An antidote for alienation

Beautiful essay on unity and the restoration of community. Makes you want to go out and introduce yourself to all of your neighbours.

Interesting story, but didn't like his conclusions

I listened to this in one go, and I really enjoyed parts of it, but I personally found a large component to be based around military tropes (even though I recognize this was the opposite of the authors intent). He attempts to address this, but I find it to be a poor job relative to the rest of his writing.

On to the good parts. I find the story pretty interesting, the anecdotes and historical components have substance. I see a lot of the points brought up, but I choose to draw different conclusions with the evidence he presents.

Worth a read if you want something to talk about in a group, that's for sure.

Great listen

Really enjoyed listening to this was very incitful and gave me a better understanding to what it means to be part of a tribe

Cage Rattling

I don’t know how to explain it, I’ve just finished the book, but I feel as though something has come loose inside my head.

To be clear, I highly recommend this book.

However, I’m not sure what I feel about the book. I can say it’s very well written in it’s exploration of precedent events that support the opinion being expressed. At the very least, there is that.
Something else is in it though, something I’ve never been aware of maybe, and now I am.

I’m just not sure I totally understand it yet.

Perhaps another listen….

inspirational

Sebastian has inspired me to live a better life by contributing to my tribe whatever that may be. workplace, home, film production, or traffic standstill. we are in it together. shifting that perspective is key. read this book to learn more.

Great Listen, very engaging

content and sounds was great on this book, very pleased with this recommendation from a friend. looking forward to listening to more of this author.

Short and Sweet

This book is short and sweet and I enjoyed it. the author makes some great points but I feel like these points were not developed enough.

Eerily more relevant with each passing year

A good, precise, short book with important relevance to today's strange partisan backdrop.
Worth your credit.

Amazing

This book hit the nail on the head and drove it home I have never heard or read anything that is resonated so perfectly with my personal situation thank you Mr. Junger!

excellent read

Sebastian Junger has quickly become one of my favorite authors and narrators. I have listened to War at least 4 times and am now starting my second back to back listen of this book.
