"Finally: an engaging, evidence-based book about how to battle
biases, champion diversity and inclusion, and advocate for those
who lack power and privilege. Dolly Chugh makes a convincing case
that being an ally isn't about being a good person-it's about
constantly striving to be a better person." -Adam Grant, New York
Times bestselling author of Give and Take, Originals, and Option B
with Sheryl Sandberg Foreword by Laszlo Bock, the bestselling
author of Work Rules! and former Senior Vice President of People
Operations at Google An inspiring guide from Dolly Chugh, an
award-winning social psychologist at the New York University Stern
School of Business, on how to confront difficult issues including
sexism, racism, inequality, and injustice so that you can make the
world (and yourself) better. Many of us believe in equality,
diversity, and inclusion. But how do we stand up for those values
in our turbulent world? The Person You Mean to Be is the smart,
"semi-bold" person's guide to fighting for what you believe in.
Dolly reveals the surprising causes of inequality, grounded in the
"psychology of good people". Using her research findings in
unconscious bias as well as work across psychology, sociology,
economics, political science, and other disciplines, she offers
practical tools to respectfully and effectively talk politics with
family, to be a better colleague to people who don't look like you,
and to avoid being a well-intentioned barrier to equality. Being
the person we mean to be starts with a look at ourselves. She
argues that the only way to be on the right side of history is to
be a good-ish- rather than good-person. Good-ish people are always
growing. Second, she helps you find your "ordinary privilege"-the
part of your everyday identity you take for granted, such as race
for a white person, sexual orientation for a straight person,
gender for a man, or education for a college graduate. This part of
your identity may bring blind spots, but it is your best tool for
influencing change. Third, Dolly introduces the psychological
reasons that make it hard for us to see the bias in and around us.
She leads you from willful ignorance to willful awareness. Finally,
she guides you on how, when, and whom, to engage (and not engage)
in your workplaces, homes, and communities. Her science-based
approach is a method any of us can put to use in all parts of our
life. Whether you are a long-time activist or new to the fight, you
can start from where you are. Through the compelling stories Dolly
shares and the surprising science she reports, Dolly guides each of
us closer to being the person we mean to be.
