We all go along with things we don't want to do... or worse,
things that make us feel uncomfortable or morally uneasy. We
comply for lots of reasons. We don't want to make trouble, or
upset our friends, our bosses or people in authority. But Dr
Sunita Sah says we should be more ready to defy.

Defy: the Power of No in a World That Demands Yes is one of Dr
Laurie's favorite books of 2025, so she invited Sunita to explain
how we can say no more often and what that means for improving
our happiness.
