The Sibling Society (book by Robert Bly)

*The Sibling Society* by Robert Bly explores how modern society has shifted from fostering deep familial and community bonds to promoting individualism and superficial relationships. Bly argues that this change has led to a loss of meaningful connections, emotional maturity, and a sense of shared purpose. Instead of strong, supportive kinship networks, people often seek validation through peer groups and media, resulting in a society where relationships lack depth and the collective responsibility once valued. The book calls for a renewal of authentic sibling-like bonds to restore emotional richness and social cohesion.
