Finding & Joining Your "Tribe" (Tool #41 of 42)

Imagine a space where the thing that makes you weird makes you welcome. Research by Haslam shows that joining groups based on shared passions boosts happiness in ways solo pursuits simply can't match. A 2015 study found tribal belonging significantly enhances personal control and emotional stability. Billy spent years searching for his tribe in obvious places before discovering it at the marina, cornhole games, and Friday night football tailgates. These "miniature tribes" provided exactly the belonging he'd been looking for. It takes about 50 hours to turn an acquaintance into a friend, so don't quit early. Stop editing yourself and show up where you belong.
