Tribal: How the Cultural Instincts That Divide Us Can Help Bring Us Together

byMichael Morris

Michael Morris examines the cultural instinct that draws people into groups and argues that tribalism is not simply a defect to eliminate. Using research from psychology, anthropology, and organizational behavior, he identifies different ways communities create belonging, coordinate action, and transmit norms. These same mechanisms can fuel exclusion and conflict, but they can also support cooperation across divides when leaders understand how identities work. The book offers a nuanced account of culture as a flexible human capacity, showing how shared practices and purposes can turn group loyalties toward constructive collective action.
