Books that Jacob mentioned:

Humankind: A Hopeful History by Rutger Bregman

Freedom: Medicine Words for Your Brave Revolution by Jaiya John

Movie mentioned:
Nomadland, directed by Chloé Zhao (we talked about it last week, too, but it’s that good)

Here’s the poem Scott read at the end of the show:

A Prayer

by Clarissa Pinkola Estés

Refuse to fall down

If you cannot refuse to fall down,

refuse to stay down.

If you cannot refuse to stay down,

lift your heart toward heaven,

and like a hungry beggar,

ask that it be filled.

You may be pushed down.

You may be kept from rising.

But no one can keep you from lifting your heart

toward heaven

only you.

It is in the middle of misery

that so much becomes clear.

The one who says nothing good

came of this,

is not yet listening.
