How to Confront the Things that Suck (Live with John Green)

<p>Author and vlogger John Green looks around the world and sees a lot of things that suck. But rather than giving in to despair, he's trying to develop a sense of hope. He says the most "punk rock" thing to do is tackle our problems head-on.&nbsp;</p> <p>John embraces the motto: "Human beings can be good news!" In a live discussion with Dr Laurie, he explains that if we work together we can decrease the suck in the world and increase the awesome.&nbsp;</p> <p>This live event marked the publication of John's new book <a href="https://everythingistb.com">Everything is Tuberculosis</a> - which argues that TB is a global disease that we can conquer right now if we put in a little bit of combined effort.</p> <p>Happiness Lab listeners have already raised tens of thousands of dollar to fight TB by&nbsp;donating to our appeal at <a href="https://www.givedirectly.org/TB">GiveDirectly.org/tb</a>.</p> <hr> <p>Get ad-free episodes to The Happiness Lab by subscribing to Pushkin+ on Apple Podcasts...
