Campbell Walker AKA Struthless - Why We’re So Anxious in an Abundant World (and How to Escape It)

Why are we so anxious when the world keeps getting better? I sat down with Campbell Walker, the Australian artist, YouTuber and author known as Struthless, whose book Doom and Bloom makes the case for creativity in a world hooked on panic.

We get into how the like button and the blue and white dress turned social media into an outrage machine, the news site that ran only good news for a day and lost two thirds of its readers, and why people who know more about the world tend to feel more hopeful about it. Campbell shares what to stop doing when you're at your lowest, why the magic you want sits in the work you're avoiding, and why he swapped AI for paper books and an old camera. We also talk about suicide, and why the first step is feeling seen.
