UK professor Dr Sunita Sah (pictured right, next to her mother) shared her advice for practicing defiance.
In my new book, Defy: The Power Of No In A World That Demands Yes, I present my case for defiance being the courage to act in alignment with your values, even when societal pressures push you to comply.
Dr Sah shared about an instance where she had seen her mother, pictured, stand up to racist bullies.
My studies made me consider all the times I had tried to say no to an unfair request from a teacher or to resist expectations from family or friends, yet smiled and complied, just like my mum so often had.
Dr Sah, pictured with her other, revealed how you too can channel defiance by practicing it and 'breaking free' from politeness.
