While the book certainly resonates with those struggling with loneliness, it's written for a broad audience. It examines the universal human need for connection and offers insights into the social fabric of our world and the challenges of finding meaning and belonging in modern times.

Junger acknowledges that tribal societies are not without their flaws and conflicts. However, he highlights their strengths in fostering a sense of belonging, purpose, and mutual support, aspects often lacking in modern individualistic societies. He uses them as a lens to examine our own social structures and their shortcomings.

While Junger draws upon his experiences with soldiers and veterans, 'Tribe' goes beyond the military experience. He uses their stories to illustrate the profound human need for connection and how modern society can sometimes fail to meet this need, affecting everyone, not just veterans.
