Most career advice assumes one thing: That success belongs to the loudest people in the room. Speak more. Network more. Promote yourself more. But for millions of professionals, this advice feels unnatural, and exhausting.

Do you feel exhausted after certain conversations, even when nothing obviously went wrong? Do you replay what you said for hours, or even days, wondering if you handled it badly?

We've decided by consensus that consensus is good. In In Defense of Troublemakers, psychologist Charlan Nemeth argues that this principle is completely wrong: left unchallenged, the majority opinion is often biased, unoriginal, or false.

As Erich Fromm points out, ours is "a life between having and being"—between mere having and healthy being, between destructiveness and creativity, between narcissism and productive self-understanding, between passivity and the joy of positive activity.
