El arte de llevar la contraria

Why do we fear nonconformity? Why do we avoid expressing ideas, going against or questioning the status quo? Why are we afraid of being called weird, idealistic, or insubordinate? If history has shown us anything, it is that for the world to move forward, rebels and protesters are needed who question the opinion of the majority and question the established order. Shyness, fear of ridicule, social pressure or hierarchy are a heavy burden that affects the security we have in ourselves and that little by little is cutting off our creativity and idealism. Todd Kashdan, professor of psychology, has proposed that we lose that suspicion of expressing our personal opinion, whether in the public sphere or in a work meeting, and he does so with real examples and practical tools. A book for anyone convinced that there is always another way to do things.
