The Person You Mean to Be: How Good People Fight Bias

The Person You Mean to Be is a groundbreaking guide that empowers individuals to confront difficult issues such as sexism, racism, inequality, and injustice with confidence and effectiveness.

Drawing on her research findings in unconscious bias and work across psychology, sociology, economics, political science, and other disciplines, Dolly Chugh provides practical tools for respectfully and effectively talking politics with family, being a better colleague to people who don't look like you, and avoiding being a well-intentioned barrier to equality.

By embracing the concept of "good-ish" rather than simply being a good person, individuals can grow and develop into the person they mean to be.

The book also helps readers identify their "ordinary privilege," which is often taken for granted but holds significant power in influencing change.

Throughout the text, Dolly introduces the psychological reasons that make it hard for us to see bias in and around us, guiding readers towards willful awareness rather than willful ignorance.

With this comprehensive guide, anyone can become a force for good in their personal and professional lives, creating a more just and equitable society for all.
