About this listen
A highly practical and researched-based toolbox for anyone who wants to create a world with more justice, creativity, and courage.
For too long, the term insubordination has evoked negative feelings and mental images. But for ideas to evolve and societies to progress, it’s vital to cultivate rebels who are committed to challenging conventional wisdom and improving on it. Change never comes easily. And most would-be rebels lack the skills to overcome hostile audiences who cling desperately to the way things are.
Based on cutting-edge research, The Art of Insubordination is the essential guide for anyone seeking to be heard, make change, and rebel against an unhealthy status quo. Learn how to
- Resist the allure of complacency
- Discover the value of being around people who stop conforming and start deviating
- Produce messages that influence the majority—when in the minority
- Build mighty alliances
- Manage the discomfort when trying to rebel
- Champion ideas that run counter to traditional thinking
- Unlock the benefits of being in a group of diverse people holding divergent views
- Cultivate curiosity, courage, and independent, critical thinking in youth
Filled with engaging stories about dissenters in the trenches as well as science that will transform your thinking. The Art of Insubordination is for anyone who seeks more justice, courage, and creativity in the world.

Thumbs up for concept
There isn't a way to say this, without sounding almost patronizing towards some, but I might as well go ahead and say it. It's an excellent book for 'still in the matrix', 'group think' person who are not in habit of questing "reality" according to evening news. For those who've been taking (nasty-tasting) red pills for some time, you shouldn't expect anything revolutionary. Actually, expect to be underwhelmed, by occasional banal and factually confused examples in the book. Despite that, I'm being positive about it since I hope it might crack the shell of intellectually lazy individuals and start them on the path of examining the foundation of their firmly entrenched beliefs, that might not necessary reflect the real world (despite "experts" claiming otherwise). If nothing, if only one of the key messages from this book is passed to the reader (in my opinion that would be "Don't go too hard on/ ban/shame/cancel people who think differently, because you actually MIGHT NOT be right" or "Your job in the world is not to agree with established opinion, but to challenge it if you see fit , in an appropriate, peaceful manner, and encourage others to do the same, while being tolerant to EVERYONE" it wouldn't be a waste of time.
