À propos de cet audio
“Dr. Sunita Sah brilliantly reframes our understanding of defiance—from an act of mere rebellion to a vital tool for personal growth and social change.”—Daniel H. Pink, #1 New York Times bestselling author of The Power of Regret
“A must-read for anyone committed to justice and building an inclusive world.”—LaTosha Brown, organizer, strategist, and co-founder of Black Voters Matter
The definitive book on defiance, a clear-eyed dissection of the forces that silence us, featuring groundbreaking research and legendary stories alongside everyday examples and strategies for how to unleash the power of a “True No.”
Why is it so hard to stand up to authority, even when we know something’s wrong?
Many of us comply much more than we realize. 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? Analyzing cases ranging from corporate corruption and sexual abuse to everyday acquiescence at work, the doctor’s office, and in our personal lives, award-winning organizational psychologist Dr. Sunita Sah delves deep into why the pressure to comply is a corrosive and often invisible force in our society.
With her own revelatory research, she radically transforms our idea of defiance from a misunderstood negative trait into a crucial, positive force for personal and societal change. Taking us through her five stages of defiance, Dr. Sah equips listeners with simple tools to make decisions that align with their values. Defy is the essential playbook for how to speak up and act when it matters most.

A thoughtful guide to making courageous decisions
Dr. Sunita Sah’s Defy: The Power of No in a World That Demands Yes is a thought-provoking and deeply relevant book that challenges how we think about compliance, values, and the power of saying no.
One of the most striking concepts in the book is insinuation anxiety, the internal discomfort we feel when saying no might imply distrust or suggest that we are questioning authority. Once I came across this idea, I started seeing it everywhere. In conversations, in decision-making, even in small everyday moments where I hesitated before pushing back. Recognizing it gave me the space to pause, rethink, and sometimes make different choices.
Dr. Sah weaves together powerful examples of people who have resisted the pressure to conform. Their stories serve as both a wake-up call and a source of motivation. Some of these individuals changed industries, some reshaped movements, and others simply made the difficult choice to stand by their convictions when it mattered most. These moments of defiance are not loud or reckless. They are thoughtful, intentional, and deeply rooted in personal values.
That last part is what resonated with me the most. Defiance is not just about resisting authority or breaking from the norm. It is about clarity, knowing who you are, what you believe, and using those beliefs to guide your decisions. I have always believed that both individuals and organizations should ask themselves these fundamental questions. Not because the answers are always simple, but because without them, we risk being guided by inertia rather than intention. Data can inform decisions, but values shape them.
What I appreciated most about this book is how focused it remains on its core message. It would have been easy to veer into adjacent topics, but Dr. Sah stays true to what defiance really means, why it matters, when to embrace it, and how to wield it in a way that aligns with who we are.
Defy is not just a book about resistance. It is a book about conviction, about trusting your instincts, and about the courage to make choices that reflect your true self. Highly recommended.
