Are you a difficult person? This issue of New Humanist is dedicated to bold thinkers who refuse to back down. We hear from dissidents in China, Russia and Belarus; meet the therapists helping people leave cults; and talk to Steven Pinker about America's besieged universities. PLUS we look at the rise of "non-monogamy", take a peek inside the Wes Anderson archives, and talk to David Olusoga about his stint on The Traitors.
