      You ever hear of 'scripting'? That's where you write your own life. It's pretty hardcore.

    It's always weird to see John on these type of shows cause it feels like watching my friend on tv. I've been watching the Vlogbrothers since like year 2 so they feel like real friends.

      Also the interviewer thinks of John as an author first. I don't know if anyone else agrees: but he is a RUclipsr first to for me.

  • @darcyreadssometimes3904
    @darcyreadssometimes3904 7 лет назад +148

    I appreciated this interviewer. I've seen a few people really bear into John and be like, "what's that like?" and ask all these really invasive questions about his OCD, which seems to be particularly troublesome for a person who has these invasive thought spirals. This man did no such thing, and was able to get John talking a bit about things that are important to him. Good job, Good Morning America. Thank you.

  • @greenalfoil
    @greenalfoil 7 лет назад +1367

    "So many young women are struggling with anxiety"

    • @ineslime3929
      @ineslime3929 6 лет назад +1

      Emily C it’s such an incredible book, but it’s sadly just not as popular as TFIOS, Paper Towns, or Looking for Alaska. Probably because the first two have movies and the third is a little controversial. But An Abundance of Katherines is still an amazing book.

BTW Aza is a great girl she tackled very well with her anxiety and Daisy is a great best friend like I also want a Daisy in my life who'll be always there for me no matter what.this was the 3rd book by John Green which I have read yet and I can surely say he never disappointed me ever. 💞

I'm 73, I was thinking finally I've found help.... But it's a young adult book.......hummm..What dork wrote that copy?? John are you getting people to review this book based on young adults?? Did I mention I've suffered with anxiety all my life?? I'm a black sheep in my family. The rumor is, I have a mental illness. I'm far from a young adult John. Now I really have an anxiety attack. We just don't matter. Not even to John.

      He writes novels, not phycology self help books, and they are considered YA because they feature young characters. You don’t have to be young to read it. But also, maybe give things a chance for yourself to understand them beyond just literally the “first line on google”. Read it for yourself to find out if it’s for you.
