Bill Gates recommended Infections and Inequalities: The Modern Plague in Books (curated)

"Paul Farmer is one of the most impressive people I’ve had the honor of getting to know. He’s an amazing advocate for the health of the world’s poorest people, and he co-founded a system of health clinics in Haiti that reaches more than a million people in some of that country’s hardest-to-reach places. Melinda and I took our kids to Haiti this year so they could meet Paul and see the work he leads. In this book he really opens your eyes to the vast differences between the health of the rich and the health of the poor."

I love this book. Everything about it. I had my friend read it and he feels the same. It has something for everyone. It has a mystery element, a bit of a love story, and a good look at mental health and illness and its effects.

A fantastic film that holds a mirror to a lacking society

In my opinion, this cinematic piece is nothing less than amazing. It truly reflects what a horrid society we have, especially in attitudes and treatments for those with ill mental health

Loved this experience

I fell in love with this game. I loved the main characters, the story development and soundtrack. I love the mental health aspects tackled and the overall concept. Plus the multiple endings and story choices plus beautiful art work.
