Malcolm Gladwell
“And of every occupational category, poets have far and away the highest suicide rates—as much as five times higher than the general population. Something about writing poetry appears either to attract the wounded or to open new wounds—and few have so perfectly embodied that image of the doomed genius as Sylvia Plath.1”
Malcolm Gladwell, Talking to Strangers: What We Should Know About the People We Don’t Know

Brené Brown
“To weave this into office culture, leaders need to model appropriate boundaries by shutting off email at a reasonable time and focusing on themselves and their family. Do not celebrate people who work through the weekend, who brag that they were tethered to their computers over Christmas break. Ultimately, it’s unsustainable behavior, and it has dangerous side effects, including burnout, depression, and anxiety—it also creates a culture of workaholic competitiveness that’s detrimental for everyone.”
Brené Brown, Dare to Lead: Brave Work. Tough Conversations. Whole Hearts.

Michelle Obama
“In 2009, we’d put on the first-ever White House poetry and spoken-word event, listening as a young composer named Lin-Manuel Miranda stood up and astonished everyone with a piece from a project he was just beginning to put together, describing it as a “concept album about the life of someone I think embodies hip-hop…Treasury secretary Alexander Hamilton.” I remember shaking his hand and saying, “Hey, good luck with the Hamilton thing.”
Michelle Obama, Becoming

Valeria Luiselli
“Rapes: eighty percent of the women and girls who cross Mexico to get to the U.S. border are raped on the way. The situation is so common that most of them take contraceptive precautions as they begin the journey north.”
Valeria Luiselli, Tell Me How It Ends: An Essay in 40 Questions

Brené Brown
“Empathy is not connecting to an experience, it’s connecting to the emotions that underpin an experience.”
Brené Brown, Dare to Lead: Brave Work. Tough Conversations. Whole Hearts.
