“So how do you stand up to a dictator? By embracing values, defined early—they’re the subtitles of the chapters you’ve read: honesty, vulnerability, empathy, moving away from emotions, embracing your fear, believing in the good.

Stand in someone else’s shoes. And do unto others as you would have them do unto you.”
