What we think of as the modern, connected world is actually extremely fragment and alienating—at least compared to the tribal communities that typified our ancestral lives. As a result, industrial society has produced the highest rates of suicide and depression ever in human history. But along with that, it has also produced breathtaking advances in science, medicine, human rights and technology. The trick,for our society, will be to regain the human qualities of interdependent communal living while benefiting from the enormous material advantages of the world that we have created. - Sebastian Junger | Director, The Last Patrol
