Recommendation

Most people want to be good people. Yet often, being seen as a good person can become more important than actually being a good person. When this happens, your efforts to make a positive difference in the world can backfire. At a time when inclusion and diversity have become mainstream topics, social psychologist Dolly Chugh demonstrates how uncovering your hidden motives and adopting a growth mindset will help you to act as a builder, rather than just a believer, in the fight against discrimination and inequality.

Take-Aways

  • You need a growth mindset to thrive in situations that threaten your identity.
  • Every person has unconscious biases, even those who actively advocate and support diversity and equality.
  • You can fight inequality more effectively by tackling systemic biases as well as individual ones.
