A conversation with a Cornell professor who is attempting to rebrand the concept of defiance.
Dr. Sunita Sah started her career as a physician but then switched over to organizational psychology. At Cornell, she conducts research on influence, authority, compliance, and defiance. She is the author of Defy: The Power of No in a World That Demands Yes.
In this episode we talk about:
- How Dr. Sah defines defiance
- The costs of compliance

- How to make defiance a practice
- The upside of tension
- The importance of knowing your values — how to articulate them, and how this relates to our biology, specifically our hormones
