Description
Sebastian Junger explores the complexities of post-traumatic stress disorder and the challenges veterans face returning to society. He argues that the problem lies not with the individuals who have suffered trauma, but with the society to which they are trying to reintegrate. Junger examines the natural inclination of humans to live in groups, and how this can lead to feelings of alienation and disconnection in those who have experienced trauma. He also considers the impact of affluence on mental health, and how modern society can work to reverse the trend of rising rates of suicide, depression, and PTSD. By studying how veterans react to coming home, Junger seeks to provide a clue to how modern society can better support those who have been affected by trauma. This thought-provoking book offers a nuanced and insightful look at a pressing social issue.
