Podcast
One the most personally meaningful podcast interviews we’ve done over the years was Our Evolutionary Need For Community, recorded with Peabody award-winning author Sebastian Junger.
Since recording our initial interview with Sebastian, we’ve often shared the insights from it with the Peak Prosperity tribe at live events and in our writings. So this week we decided to reconnect with Sebastian, and hear how his thoughts and conclusions on the topic have evolved since we last talked with him.
It’s clear that he believes more than ever that the future prosperity of our society will be rooted in rediscovering how to create and foster the communal bonds our tribal ancestors lived by. And that begins by taking an honest look at the narratives, behaviors, and modern conveniences and temptations that keep us trapped in unhappy, unhealthy isolation.

My main message here in Part 2 is to show you why, from my vantage point of following the economy and financial markets daily, things are serious right now.
I trust actions over words; and the Fed’s actions are consistent with a big problem happening somewhere deep in the shadow banking system.
Further, all of the global macro data I track closely is screaming that a slowdown is here.
On top of that, investor confidence in the Fed’s ability to push market prices ever higher is dangerously overextended.
Stock gains have zoomed way ahead of the Fed’s recent excess liquidity, as this chart shows… (Enroll now to continue reading)

Others have watched Peak Prosperity readers successfully transition to more resilient destinations or even build their own self-sufficient homesteads.
Specifically, we’re seeing a hunger for guidance on the key factors to assess when asking:
- How resilient is my current location?
- Should I relocate?
- If so, where to? And what criteria should I prioritize in making my decision?
