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

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. 


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. 


This live event marked the publication of John's new book
Everything is Tuberculosis - which argues that TB is a global
disease that we can conquer right now if we put in a little bit
of combined effort.
