Perfect for you if...

  • You struggle with people-pleasing and want research-backed strategies, not just motivational platitudes, to break the habit.
  • You've noticed yourself compromising your values at work or home and want practical tools to change that pattern.
  • You're a parent who wants to raise kids who do the right thing rather than just the obedient thing.

Maybe not for you if...

  • You're looking for a book that validates conflict avoidance or frames boundary-setting as optional.
  • You want abstract philosophy without concrete, day-to-day strategies you can implement immediately.
  • You prefer narrative-driven self-help over data and research as the foundation for advice.

About this book

Defy offers practical steps for stopping people-pleasing behaviors and living according to your own values. Dr. Sunita Sah, an award-winning researcher, presents data-driven strategies for situations where you want to object, disagree, or opt out but feel pressured to comply. The book combines research, stories, and everyday strategies to help you stand up for yourself and others in personal, professional, and broader contexts. It covers how to practice defying in low-stakes situations, recognize your body's signals that it's time to object, take responsibility for yourself and others, prepare for difficult moments, and teach children the difference between obedience and doing what is right even when unpopular. Sah argues that while compliance is widespread in society, it can be prevented. The book explores how defiance can spread from one person to others.
