Warren St. John (again, apologizes for not commenting, but it's still doesn't like my account)

So, St. John reviewed some of the anecdotes in his book, including the first game he saw (as well as some additional information on how he was led to the game) and when he first went to visit one of the refugee families. He also talked about the themes and messages in his book, mainly being that, to accommodate change, we need to step outside our comfort zone and try to meet people who aren't like us. This will also help us better our own experiences.

I'll be honest, while St. John is covering some very important topics and themes that do need to be addressed in current day society (and I really support him for putting himself out there and writing this book to start that conversation), but I can't call him the most enthralling speaker. He's a good writer, so maybe he's just more of a written person than a speaker. Either way, this is a very important topic.
