But how do we stand up for those values in our turbulent world? \u003cem\u003eThe Person You Mean to Be\u003c\/em\u003e is the smart, \"semi-bold\" person’s guide to fighting for what you believe in.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDolly reveals the surprising causes of inequality, grounded in the \"psychology of good people\". Using her research findings in unconscious bias as well as work across psychology, sociology, economics, political science, and other disciplines, she offers practical tools to respectfully and effectively talk politics with family, to be a better colleague to people who don’t look like you, and to avoid being a well-intentioned barrier to equality. Being the person we mean to be starts with a look at ourselves.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eShe argues that the only way to be on the right side of history is to be a good-ish— rather than good—person. Good-ish people are always growing. Second, she helps you find your \"ordinary privilege\"—the part of your everyday identity you take for granted, such as race for a white person, sexual orientation for a straight person, gender for a man, or education for a college graduate. This part of your identity may bring blind spots, but it is your best tool for influencing change. Third, Dolly introduces the psychological reasons that make it hard for us to see the bias in and around us. She leads you from willful ignorance to willful awareness. Finally, she guides you on how, when, and whom, to engage (and not engage) in your workplaces, homes, and communities. Her science-based approach is a method any of us can put to use in all parts of our life.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhether you are a long-time activist or new to the fight, you can start from where you are. Through the compelling stories Dolly shares and the surprising science she reports, Dolly guides each of us closer to being the person we mean to be.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Dolly Chugh","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46900276625557,"sku":"9780062864901","price":46.99,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0484\/3175\/9509\/files\/9780062864901_4102cc59-f187-4b75-9429-f58d151b6bac.jpg?v=1776888449","url":"https:\/\/harpercollins.com.au\/products\/9780062864901_the-person-you-mean-to-be","provider":"HarperCollins AU","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
