John Green on fighting diseases of injustice

In this episode of Rethinking, Adam Grant interviews author John Green about his new book, "Everything is Tuberculosis," and the global fight against the disease. Green shares his personal connection to the topic, stemming from his encounter with a young patient in Sierra Leone, and discusses the injustice of neglecting a curable disease that disproportionately affects impoverished communities. They explore the roles of pharmaceutical companies, public investment, and individual action in addressing the tuberculosis crisis, as well as Green's experiences with book banning and his creative process as a writer. The conversation also touches on the importance of collaboration, particularly Green's relationship with his brother Hank, and the power of motivational quotes.
