For readers of Caste and How to Be an Antiracist, a page-turning
deep-dive into how bias is learned―plus a strikingly original and
highly effective set of tools to un-learn it.
Imagine a world without bias. A world where all human beings can truly
be just as they are and unleash their full potential.
Take a moment to imagine how you feel in such a world―not what you
think about it, or whether you believe it's possible, but how you feel.
This is the proposition that opens Breaking Bias. It’s your invitation
to embark on a journey that will radically change your experience and
show you how you, in turn, can help reshape our world.
Drawing on two decades of original research and experience training
thousands of students, Anu Gupta, a lawyer, scientist, and educator
whose work focuses on diversity, equity, inclusion, and belonging, has
written a comprehensive and compellingly readable guide for anyone who
wants to understand and unlearn conscious and unconscious biases.
Whether you're a teacher or student, engineer or creative, parent or
grandparent, this book will train you to become more aware of and
transform bias in your daily life and within you―especially beliefs and
perceptions you may hold about yourself and others.
Blending ancient Buddhist wisdom with modern scientific evidence, Anu
takes us on a deep-time journey to explore human identities and
identity-based biases and to recognize that breaking bias is the key to
unlocking multiple crises in our world―from racism, sexism, classism,
and other -isms to burnout, loneliness, and climate change. Then he
offers his signature PRISM toolkit―a science-backed, somatically
informed set of contemplative tools―to help us dismantle learned bias
within ourselves and in the world around us, moment by moment, with
probing questions and writing prompts throughout the book that invite
us to put these tools to use right from the start.
Breaking Bias is one of the few books that go beyond examining the
history of bias to offer actual training in how to reduce bias, and
it’s the only one written by an author with Anu's unique intersectional
identities: a gay brown immigrant with Buddhist, Christian, and Hindu
roots who is also an American lawyer and scholar of bias with lived
experiences that span the globe. This is a book with the potential to
transform the way we think and the way we live.
