The 5 Stages Logan identifies:
Stage 1: Life Sucks! -- When people form tribes around their common disdain for life.
Stage 2: My Life Sucks! -- When people form tribes around their common hatred of their own lives or situations.
Stage 3: I'm great; you're not. -- The most abundant tribal form, common in executive offices, bowling teams and Neighborhood parties...anytime people gather around some common quality or experience but focus their energy on comparison & competition with other tribe members.
Stage 4: We're great! -- When people transcend individualism and see themselves as a part of a positive thriving cooperative community.
Stage 5: Life is great! -- When Stage 4 tribes move past the awesomeness of their own community to focus on creating beauty in the world. These tribes, says Logan, represent only about 2% of all tribes on earth and are the ones that create the most positive change in the world.
How do we grow and evolve? How do we move forward, particularly in a world that seems too big and too complicated to get everyone on the same page.

Thinking about society in this way made me feel like our problems are not insurmountable. If we focus on defining our tribes, nudge our tribes along more positive and sustainable paths and network to source good ideas and positive thinking with other tribes, and when possible join more tribes - then maybe we really can move forward from the morass that the world seems to be stuck in.

Bleh... I've seen his speech before. Thought it was going to be something interesting on some new dynamic in tribal psychology, but it only contains enough to bastardize in the name of promoting intra-office synergy and positive attitudes. A damned corporate pep-talker with lots of self-empowering fluff... but no substance.

And when you get to 4 or 5, you must still network with 1, 2 or 3 to effect any real societal change.
