Anu Gupta is a 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
