His work has reached 300+ organizations training more than 80,000 professionals impacting over 30 million lives. Gupta holds a JD from NYU Law, MPhil in Development Studies from Cambridge University, and BA in International Relations and Middle Eastern & Islamic Studies from NYU. As a gay immigrant of color, he came to the work of breaking bias after almost ending his life due to lifelong experiences with racism, homophobia, and Islamophobia. The realization that bias can be unlearned helped lead him out of that dark point and inspired a lifelong mission to build a global movement for social healing based on principles of mindfulness and compassion. A peer-reviewed author, he has written and spoken extensively, including on the TED stage, the Oprah Conversation, Fast Company, Newsweek, and Vogue Business. He is the author of Breaking Bias: Where Stereotypes and Prejudices Come From—and the Science-Backed Method to Unravel Them.</p> <p><br /></p> <p><br /></p> <p><br /></p> <p><strong>In this episode we talk about:</strong></p> <ul> <li>The 5 causes of bias</li> <li>The dis-utility of shame</li> <li>What has – and hasn't – been working in DEI trainings</li> <li>Contemplative practices, on and off the cushion, for breaking bias</li> <li>And his response to skeptics </li> </ul> <p><br /></p> <p><br /></p> <p><strong>Related Episodes:</strong></p> <ul> <li><a href= "https://happierapp.com/podcast/tph/jessica-nordell-rerun" rel= "noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Why You're Not Seeing the World Clearly— and How to Fix It | Jessica Nordell</a></li> <li><a href= "https://www.happierapp.com/podcast/tph/john-biewen-333" rel= "noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">The Self-Interested Case for Examining Your Biases | John Biewen</a></li> <li><a href= "https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/dolly-chugh-how-good-people-fight-bias/id1087147821?i=1000468718792" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Dolly Chugh, How Good People Fight Bias</a></li> <li><a href= "https://www.danharris.com/p/rhonda-magee-law-professor-using-39f" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Rhonda Magee, Law Professor Using Mindfulness to Defeat Bias</a></li> <li><a href="https://happierapp.com/podcast/tph/loretta-ross-316" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">How to Call People In (Instead of Calling Them Out) | Loretta Ross</a></li> </ul> <p><br /></p> <p><br /></p> <p><strong>Sign up for Dan's newsletter</strong> <a href= "http://www.danharris.com" rel="noopener noreferrer" target= "_blank"><strong>here</strong></a></p> <p><strong>Follow Dan on social:</strong> <a href= "https://bit.ly/3tGigG5" rel="noopener noreferrer" target= "_blank"><strong>Instagram</strong></a><strong>,</strong> <a href= "https://bit.ly/3FOA84J" rel="noopener noreferrer" target= "_blank"><strong>TikTok</strong></a></p> <p><strong>Ten Percent Happier online</strong> <a href= "https://bit.ly/46TZglY" rel="noopener noreferrer" target= "_blank"><strong>bookstore</strong></a></p> <p><strong>Subscribe to our</strong> <a href= "https://bit.ly/3FybRzD" rel="noopener noreferrer" target= "_blank"><strong>YouTube Channel</strong></a></p> <p><strong>Our favorite playlists on:</strong> <a href= "https://spoti.fi/3Qa8kMT" rel="noopener noreferrer" target= "_blank"><strong>Anxiety</strong></a><strong>,</strong> <a href= "https://spoti.fi/3MjtMxF" rel="noopener noreferrer" target= "_blank"><strong>Sleep</strong></a><strong>,</strong> <a href= "https://spoti.fi/3QvyA5J" rel="noopener noreferrer" target= "_blank"><strong>Relationships</strong></a><strong>,</strong> <a href="https://spoti.fi/3QxZASc" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><strong>Most Popular Episodes</strong></a></p> <p><br /></p> <p><strong>Full Shownotes:</strong> <a href= "https://happierapp.com/podcast/tph/anu-gupta-877" rel= "noopener noreferrer" target= "_blank">https://happierapp.com/podcast/tph/anu-gupta-877</a></p> <p><br /></p>
