We all have hidden biases that shape our perceptions and interactions. And we often have biases about ourselves. Fortunately, we can unlearn our biases once we're aware of them.

Anu Gupta is an educator, lawyer, scientist, and the CEO of Be More. He delivered a popular TED talk and wrote a book called Breaking Bias. Some of the things we discuss are:

  • How biases can be unlearned through conscious effort and practices
  • The 5 causes of bias
  • The PRISM method and how this science-backed framework can break biases
  • The impact of self-bias and how addressing it can help you grow mentally stronger
  • The role media plays in bias
  • The steps that an help you let go of biases
