One lesson is to have diverse voices at the table, to make sure democracy is retained. But there are also things that we can’t put price tags on. Some things are part of our public welfare, and we should not look at a balance book to do them.

One of the most indelible lessons of this scary time is that you can survive alone, but you need others to flourish. The most dangerous preexisting condition my husband and I had for fighting the virus was our devotion to self-sufficiency. Independence can be its own kind of social isolation.

…“I think it’s been made very clear that we’re in a time where truth is very confusing, and we have people in our leadership making that confusing,” he says. “To me, the more interesting thing is that we also need to be careful about the myths that we tell. And who we believe in.” Gyllenhaal participates in one of this generation’s most successful mythmaking enterprises by playing a character who calls into question everything about the making of myths.

“Courage is a prerequisite for all leadership,” she [Brené Brown] says. And it can be taught. It’s made up of four skills: being vulnerable is the most important, followed by sticking to values, trusting others and persistence. There can be no courage without vulnerability and no vulnerability without the risk of failure. “One of the things that we learned in the research,” she says, “is that people who have the skills to get back up from a fall will engage in smarter risks and more courageous behaviors than people who don’t.”
