"A profound rumination on the concept of freedom from the New York Times bestselling author of Tribe"-- Provided by publisher.
Throughout history, humans have been driven by the quest for two cherished ideals: community and freedom. The two don't coexist easily. We value individuality and self-reliance, yet are utterly dependent on community for our most basic needs. In this intricately crafted and thought-provoking book, Sebastian Junger examines the tension that lies at the heart of what it means to be human.

Hoped for More submitted by cjbower on June 14, 2021, 8:24am What I was expecting did not match the book. When interviewed on podcasts I listened to, Junger made it sound like a book about a journey down the tracks with friends. There was very little about the journey and a lot about history. It was a very quick read, but I just wasn't that interested in much of the book.
