SPECIAL PROMOTION
In Breaking Bias, Any Gupta offers a page-turning deep dive into how bias is learned—plus a strikingly original and highly effective set of tools to unlearn it.
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.
We’re giving away 10 FREE physical copies of Anu’s book next month.

We all want to live in and contribute to creating a more equitable world.
However, it can be hard sometimes to discern signal from noise.
How do we use methods that are backed by research and based on a solid understanding of human nature?
How do we learn these skills and apply them with compassion towards ourselves and others, so that we don’t deepen the wounds of separation?
Anu Gupta’s work offers a practical, scientifically-robust approach to unlearning bias that’s also imbued with mindful, ancient wisdom. In this way, the work stays deeply rooted and humane, grounded in the goal of wholeness, healing, and true connection.

“Anu Gupta's Breaking Bias is a rigorous and expansive investigation of a human tangle and illness—assumption and bias. I am grateful for Anu's innovative antidote of PRISM, a pragmatic and heartening medicine to confront and transform the root causes of bias. Let's take the medicine together.”
“In Breaking Bias, Anu Gupta's clarity and open-heartedness invite us to reflect on the great suffering caused by racial, gender, and all forms of stereotypes, to understand more fully their religious, social and economic underpinnings, and to explore ways of freeing ourselves from these deeply conditioned patterns. This book is a remarkable and eye-opening interweaving of the history, culture and personal experiences of bias and prejudice that so deeply affected his own journey and have such an impact on all of our lives. It's rare to find a work that is so unflinching in its analysis and so compassionate and understanding in illuminating the way forward. Highly recommended!”
“In Breaking Bias, Anu Gupta offers us a powerful and accessible overview of both the roots of our species' prejudices and the actions we must take to free ourselves from them once and for all. He skillfully weaves historical analysis of various human systems of domination with reflective prompts, guiding the reader through their own thoughtful and gradual process. Anu's relatable stories of his own journey makes this sometimes challenging material a joy to read. This book provides a comprehensive and systematic pathway for breaking bias, and Anu is an expert guide through this vital journey.”
