An interesting interview and sounds like an important book. Does the book offer more clarity on distinguishing between good gut feelings and bias/fear/bad gut thinking?
The good/bad gut feeling thing is tricky, which is why I asked about it. I think most of the book takes the position that, unless you are a real expert, you probably won't be sure which it is. So you should pause and reflect. Once we get beyond that initial moment of feeling compelled to comply and we can reflect on our values, things often get clearer
Yes, in DEFY I dive deeper into that. I offer a framework for deciding whether to trust your gut or slow down and reassess, including how to recognize specific types of unease—like insinuation anxiety versus true value-based tension. Naming these feelings helps you respond more intentionally rather than reactively.
