Todd B. Kashdan
The Art of Insubordination
How to Dissent and Defy Effectively
Avery, 2022
Aperçu
Rebellion can inspire progress. Learn the methods nonconformists use to trigger positive change in society.
Recommendation
Insubordination paves the road to progress, says Todd Kashdan, a professor of psychology at George Mason University. Kashdan draws on a wealth of psychological research to show how and when to rebel against the status quo. He outlines tactics for overcoming biases, persuading others to consider unorthodox ideas, and finding and keeping allies. Moreover, he provides psychological armor for the battle. Vladimir Nabokov once said, “Curiosity is insubordination in its purest form.” With curiosity, peruse Kashdan’s offbeat book on nonconformity, and be inspired to become a maverick.
