The Anthropocene Reviewed: Essays on a Human-centered Planet by John Green


Listen Later

In this episode, you’ll discover why The Anthropocene Reviewed by John Green resonates so deeply with readers. Through a series of insightful, nostalgic, and often hilarious essays, Green reviews everything from Halley’s Comet and Diet Dr Pepper to scratch-and-sniff stickers and Liverpool soccer games. His reflections turn the ordinary into something extraordinary, offering moments of humor, heartbreak, and wonder. He wrote during the covid pandemic and makes you appreciate newly the challenges of connecting with others during times of separation.

We discuss the essays we might write to review our own lives—the fleeting experiences, vivid memories, and quiet moments that have shaped our world. Green’s unique format invites you to do just that: to pause, reflect, and assign meaning to what might otherwise go unnoticed.

The Anthropocene Reviewed is a book that makes you laugh out loud and, at times, cry. It’s a tender, funny, and profoundly human read—one that stays with you long after the last page. If you haven’t picked it up yet, this episode might be just the push you need.
