Hello and welcome to Intelligence Squared, where great minds meet.
Im head of programming Connor Boyle coming up, Chris Anderson.
Hes a name many already know, but if you dont, you surely come across a few ideas hes helped put out into the world.
Chris is head of TED talks, the ideas platform that's been a go to for some of the world's most influential thinkers, to stage presentations for the last two decades.
He has a new book which draws from some of those learnings in order to spread a bit more of an idea in short supply in recent years.
Optimism, infectious generosity is the name of the book, and in it Chris offers his thoughts and real world case studies showing how a more generous outlook can make small changes which lead to big ones.
This conversation is a recording of our intelligence squared event at London's Union Chapel recently, and joining Chris on stage to discuss the book and his work with someone open to ideas at the more unusual end of the scale.
John Ronson John is the writer and podcaster behind books that have set the agenda in exploring the post Internet age, including the psychopath test, the men who stare at goats, and so you've been publicly shamed.
Most recently, you might know Jon from the hit podcast things fell apart, which explores the stories and history of the culture wars.
It's a great discussion coming up, and Chris and John had so much to fit in.
So this is coming to you in two parts.
