The Professor Rebelling Against Woke Cult-Think

Todd Kashdan is teaching students to rebel against group-think, wokeness and cancel culture. He is a professor of Psychology at the George Mason university, where he is also the director for the well-being lab. But Todd has also written some super popular and acclaimed books, including the Upside to your Dark, and the Power of Negative Emotion, as well as his new work The Art of Insubordination, below. This is a plea for understanding, whether it be The Guardian or Fox News or Jordan Peterson.
