Cows, Running & The Search For Authenticity With John Connell (Extended Cut)

Writer and director John Connell is the bestselling author behind The Cow Book and The Running Book. With a life of multiple peaks and devastating troughs, John’s incredible life story and philosophy of making each day ‘your masterpiece’ simply must be heard. John details his journey to figuring out this thing called ‘life’, the after-effects of colonialism, and his battle with depression. In a very moving part of the discussion, John also explains how his conversation with Ryan Tubridy saved a man’s life and subsequently gave him a huge amount of perspective on his own existence. This is the perfect conversation for this Christmas after the year that it has been.
