John Sweeney created a resurgance of an old idea and created a movement "Suspended Cofees". This movement helped him overcome his own feelings of depression and self worth. In this talk, John touches on how the act of kindness from small to big gestures can in turn increase your self esteem and mental growth. A funny and emotional talk that engrossed the audience in TEDx Wexford, September 2016.
