What if kindness was cool? | Jeremy Goldberg | TEDxTownsville

Jeremy Goldberg is a scientist who is trying to change the world in his spare time and after watching this talk, you might want to join his kindness revolution. In a world where vulnerability is rare and compassion is endangered, Goldberg presents a simple yet hugely inspiring solution.
Jeremy Goldberg is trying to make kindness cool and the world better than it was yesterday. A compassionate scientist with a punk rock spirit and an urge to live the hell out of his life, Jeremy has worked in Thailand and the South Pacific as well as at several local institutions such as the Australian Institute of Marine Science, the Great Barrier Reef Marine Park Authority, and the Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation. Jeremy's day job is to help save the Great Barrier Reef and he is currently pursuing a PhD at James Cook University, but in his spare time he is trying to change the world. In 2010, he founded a tribe called Long Distance Love Bombs that acts as a therapeutic toolbox for inspiring, encouraging, and affecting transformational change. You can find Jeremy connecting with people via his various social media platforms or selling his inspirational goods at local markets around Townsville and online.
This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at ted.com/tedx
