The Art of Insubordination
The Art of Insubordination: How to Dissent and Defy Effectively | Todd B. Kashdan
3 posts | 2 read | 1 reading | 4 to read
A research-based toolbox for anyone who wants to create a world with more justice, creativity, and courage. For ideas to evolve and for societies to progress, we desperately need rebels to challenge conventional wisdom and improve on it. Unfortunately, most of us fear nonconformists, perceiving them as disloyal, reckless, destructive, or just plain weird. Because most would-be rebels lack the strength and skills to overcome hostile audiences, principled insubordination remains an underleveraged asset in the workplace and public square. Based on cutting-edge research, The Art of Insubordination is the essential guidebook for anyone seeking to be heard, make change, and rebel against an unhealthy, stagnant status quo. The book also gives the rest of us the evidence-based strategies we need to become better allies of our leaders in change, ensuring that the best ideas, products, and solutions survive and win the day. Inside this book lie answers to several questions, including: What are the most effective ways to express unpopular, important ideas? How can we help principled rebels be heard and influential? How can we better manage the discomfort when trying to rebel or interacting with a rebel? Filled with fresh and engaging stories about dissenters in the trenches as well as science that will make you see the world in a different way, The Art of Insubordination is for anyone who wants to see more justice, creativity, inclusion, cultural dynamism, and innovation in the world.

I‘m not entirely sure who the target audience is for this book? Rebels or business professionals?? The author speaks a lot about how to dissent effectively in one‘s team, which seems businessy to me. I personally do not require coaching on how to be an insubordinate rebel and social pariah (born that way), but some of the cited studies interested me.

First off as a King fan, the cover made me chuckle. I'm sure it's not meant as a reference to It, but that's all my mind thought when I got this from the library.

I really enjoyed this book. It's not necessarily new information, but it's well written with important steps listed at the end of each chapter to help motivate you to get out there and fight for your causes. The author also injects humor here and there making it a very accessible read.

I love the Balance meditation app- and they have started a podcast. The first episode was great- 15 minutes and a vital discussion on emotion in a nutshell. The guest has the tagged book releasing in Feb- and it is definitely in my wheelhouse as a rebel with too many causes. https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/well-balanced/id1593891505?i=1000542001246

MegaWhoppingCosmicBookwyrm After the weekend I‘ve had at my in-laws, I definitely need to read this. 2y
