ULTRA-condensed knowledge


Opportunity, Golden knowledge for disruptive changes
  • As we look ahead to the world’s next great challenges—including a future pandemic—we need to remember this hard-won lesson: Human beings are not passive victims of change but active stewards of our own well-being. 
  • This knowledge should empower us to make the disruptive changes our societies may require, even as we support the individuals and communities that have been hit hardest.
      Lesson learned, The psychological immune system
      • Human beings possess what some researchers call a psychological immune system, a host of cognitive abilities that enable us to make the best of even the worst situation. For example, after breaking up with a romantic partner, people may focus on the ex’s annoying habits or relish their newfound free time.
      Lesson learned, A test of the global psychological immune system
      • The pandemic has been a test of the global psychological immune system, which appears more robust than we would have guessed. 
      Lesson learned, The astonishing resilience
      • The astonishing resilience that most people have exhibited in the face of the sudden changes brought on by the pandemic holds its own lessons. 
      • We learned that people can handle temporary changes to their lifestyle—such as working from home, giving up travel, or even going into isolation—better than some policy makers seemed to assume.
