In which John takes you to Amsterdam to discuss the tulip mania that overtook the Netherlands in the 17th century, culminating with the famed flower bubble of 1636 and 1637, the original irrational exuberance. (Or was it irrational?) Buy ATLAS by Katrina Vandenberg now: amzn.to You will not regret it.

I love finding all these TFioS references in your past videos, hahaha.
He’s right, it does make sense now!
i love how poetic each of john’s vlogs are
Litres is spelt wrong on the “Goods Exchanged for a Single Bulb of the Viceroy” screen…Just sayin’
THE AMSTERDAM TRIP MAKES SENSE NOW. IT’S AMAZING.
NO ONE SPOIL THE BOOK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Dutch Tulip Man! TFIOS FTW!
One of the tulips that had this virus was called “Semper Augustus.” It was also one of the most valuable. Could one argue that the beautiful and sickly boy is made valuable by his rarity as well? Since there is only one Augustus Waters that is.
Dutch Tulip Man. OMG.
the dutch tulip man, so is he a con man?
)) great book <3<3<3
Tulips? Like the Dutch tulip man?
@GoogooEyedChihuahua also the anniversary of the Columbine shooting….happy birthday?

THE DUTCH TULIP MAN<3
I’m currently reading TFIOS and finally understand why you visited Amsterdam ^_^
I just finished reading your lovely new novel, and now all of these videos make sense. Stay awesome, John.
let me guess the sick but beautiful tulips are some kind of metaphor for the sick but beautiful guy in the book, haven’t read it btw

420 my bday
whenever i hear “viceroy” i think star wars.
Omg I’ve been on the bridge you were on in the beginning!
Ottawa, Canada has an annual tulip festival every year because we sheltered Dutch royalty during (one of) the World Wars and they supplied us the tulips to thank us for it (unsure if they still do). It is one of the prettiest things I’ve ever seen.
This was the first vlogbrothers video I ever watched <3
Six months later and I don’t know what in the world I did without Nerdfighteria
DFTBA
YOU BLINKED! WTF!
I believe the Semper Augustus was the tulip to end all tulips during the mania… The documentary “The Botany of Desire” devotes nearly half an hour to tulips and the ensuing mania…
