Calling all rebels! This week we’re joined by Todd Kashdan, Ph.D, a Professor of Psychology at George Mason University and author of several books including his latest, “The Art of Insubordination: How to Dissent and Defy Effectively.” Todd talks us through how and when to question the status quo and use courage, curiosity and resilience to effect change.
You’ll also learn:
What insubordination is and why it matters—especially now
What biases can get in your way when it comes to wellbeing
How to ask the right questions to inspire action in others
How to slow down and assess urgency
Which mental tools you can use to lower your blood pressure
How personality tests can help you and where are they limiting
