Defy: The Power of No in a World That Demands Yes by Sunita Sah

challenging hopeful informative inspiring reflective medium-paced

4.5

"Defiance isn't about emulating anyone else. It's about acting in alignment with your own values."

While reading through this book, I appreciated how different stories were shared of how people showed defiance in different ways. How by saying no, we can cause a ripple in the status quo. Although 'Defy' seems like a strong word to use, it can be reframed and used as a vital tool for our personal growth as well as social change. 

By using and following through with the word 'Defy', we can change our understanding about true consent and create a real yes and a real no. We can use this word as a way to grow stronger in our own values and beliefs while working on making the world a better place.
