Question
The concept of 'conforming to other people's expectations' in 'The Power of No' refers to the tendency of individuals to act or behave in ways that align with societal or individual expectations, often at the expense of their own desires or passions. This can be a significant barrier to personal happiness and fulfillment, as it may prevent individuals from pursuing their own interests and goals. The book encourages readers to assert their own needs and desires, and to say 'no' to requests or expectations that do not align with their personal values or aspirations.
