Summary: For ideas to evolve and for societies to progress, we need rebels to challenge conventional wisdom and improve on it. Unfortunately, most of use perceive non-conformists as disloyal, reckless, destructive, or just plain weird. Kashdan shows how to make change, rebel against an unhealthy status quo-- and become better allies of our leaders in charge. This will ensure that the best ideas, products, and solutions survive and win the day. -- adapted from jacket
