Every once in awhile, you read a book that sticks with you. Perhaps at the time you like it (or not) but you do not expect it to continue to permeate your thoughts or impact your life. Then, it does! It keeps coming to your mind and you even make some life choices because of it.

Tribe: On Homecoming and Belonging by Sebastian Junger continues to influence me to this day.

The book speaks of community and purpose like no other book I have read. It has left a lasting hunger in me to pursue these. Junger makes a strong case for the devastating side-effects when our lives are void of community and purpose. Particularly, what he has to say about community has stuck with me and even influences decisions I have made in my life, family and work.

Please read Tribe and let me know what you think.
