About this listen
“A powerful book. If you’ve ever compromised your principles to please others, Defy will give you the will—and skill—to stand up for yourself.”—Adam Grant, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Think Again
In a moment when many of us are anxious and unsure what to do—whether we’re confronting injustice on a social scale or facing something closer to home—award-winning researcher Dr. Sunita Sah offers simple strategies to activate your values.
How many times have you wanted to object, disagree, or opt out of something but ended up swallowing your words, shaking your head, and just going along? Featuring groundbreaking research, gripping stories, and easy everyday strategies, Defy reveals how to show up for yourself and others personally, professionally, and beyond. Dr. Sah’s data-driven approach shows why everyone needs the power of defiance and how to build this essential skill.
Learn how to:
• Take simple steps to practice defying in low-stakes situations
• Decode your body’s signals that it’s time to defy
• Activate the superpower of taking responsibility for yourself and others
• Rehearse for challenging situations; get comfortable being uncomfortable
• Teach kids the difference between being “good” or obedient and doing the right thing, even when it’s unpopular
• Spark a domino effect: defiance can be contagious.
Compliance is a constant, corrosive force in our society. But while it’s pervasive, it’s also preventable.
