Hey, Happiness Lab listeners!
On the last episode,
I spoke to bestselling author John Green about his mission to get us talking about tuberculosis.
TB is a disease we've been able to successfully treat for decades,
and yet millions of people still die because of it.
And that's partly
because we won't hand over the relatively small amounts of money needed to pay for treatment.
John thinks that's a scandal.
And if you agree,
we've launched an appeal to help send any cash you can spare to givedirectly.org slash tb.
That's givedirectly.org slash tb.
John's latest book, Everything is Tuberculosis,
is all about this awful disease that's shaped our world.
But that disease won't go away until we put in some effort to fight it properly.
John asked me to help him out at a launch event for the book in New York.
And that's what you're about to hear.
The evening started with John giving a short reading from Everything is Tuberculosis.
that explains how a visit to a clinic in West Africa and a meeting with a special young person sparked his interest in tackling TB.
