By listening to Reagan address issues relevant to him, Chris probably felt like he was not alone with his family issues. This relates to Into the Wild, because family issues are what push McCandless to cut off his family and travel around the United States. Perhaps if he had taken action to resolve the family issues at hand as Reagan had urged, the McCandless family would be close knit and whole…
