The Person You Mean to Be
Dolly Chugh
About this book
Dolly Chugh, a social psychologist and professor at NYU Stern, offers a practical guide for being 'good-ish' — good enough to keep growing — on issues of bias, privilege, and systemic inequality. For people who care about being better but don't know how to act.
Key themes
- Bounded ethicality: good people unconsciously act against their values
- The psychology of the 'good-ish' person: not perfect, but growing
- Implicit bias: how our automatic associations shape decisions
- How to be a better ally: moving from passive to active inclusion
- Evidence-based practices for reducing bias in real-world settings
