From corporate whistleblowing to civil disobedience, some of the boldest acts of dissent are carried out not by radicals seeking to overthrow the system, but by true believers clinging with unusual fierceness to their convictions. In his latest book, Eyal Press tells the dramatic stories of people who refused to conform when facing a morally compromising situation. Drawing on his reporting on a number of case studies and on groundbreaking research by moral psychologists and neuroscientists, Press delves deeply into the psychology of resisting, especially when doing so poses a great risk.
