Long live the rebels!
But even though we admire rebels, so many people are wired (and taught) to be rule followers. As a result, they struggle to go against the flow. But sometimes you need to do exactly that to achieve escape velocity in life and in business.
On this week’s FOMO Sapiens, we meet Todd B. Kashdan, the author of The Art of Insubordination. In our conversation, Todd explains why it’s so hard to be insubordinate. He also lays out how you can choose a path of principled rebellion to rebel productively while making sure that you don’t just make an enemy of everyone. Finally, he will share some key strategies for how you can be a constructive rebel in your daily life.
