Reading for Well-Being Podcast | S2E6, Defy with Dr. Sunita Sah

Written By Sunita Sah

Defy with Dr. Sunita Sah

I join Professor Joanna Pozzulo to discuss my book Defy: The Power of No in a World That Demands Yes and to answer these questions:

  • Why is it so hard to say no, even when we know we should?

  • What psychological forces shape obedience, compliance, and moral courage?

  • How can learning to defy unhealthy pressures help us live with greater integrity and well-being?

Defy is also Professor Pozzulo’s pick for February 2026. Read her thoughts on the book in this Reading For Well-Being substack post.
