Don’t Let Bias Hold You or Your Organization Back

Transform Your Perspective to Unleash Innovation, Build Healthy Relationships, and Support Success

Bias isn’t just a personal issue—it’s a barrier that stifles innovation, damages relationships, and undermines success in workplaces and communities. Left unchecked, it leads to exclusion, miscommunication, and missed opportunities for growth.

In Breaking Bias Foundations, you’ll gain the tools and insights to identify, understand, and challenge bias—both in yourself and in the systems around you. This 90-minute, science-backed course is your roadmap to building a more inclusive, impactful future.

What’s on the Line?

If bias remains unaddressed, the consequences can ripple through your personal and professional life:

  • Career Stagnation: Without a deeper understanding of bias, you risk being seen as out of touch with modern workplace values.

  • Damaged Relationships: Bias can erode trust and collaboration within teams, hindering productivity.

  • Financial Costs: Bias-driven decisions can lead to turnover, lawsuits, or lost clients in professional settings.

  • Missed Opportunities for Growth: Personally and professionally, unchallenged bias limits your ability to connect with diverse perspectives.

The stakes are high, but the solution starts with understanding—and acting.


What You’ll Gain

By the end of this course, you’ll be equipped to:

  • Speak with Authority: Master key concepts like unconscious bias, conscious bias, cultural competency, and the PRISM® tools for breaking bias.
  • Understand the Science: Gain insight into the neuroscience of bias and how it influences decisions and interactions.
  • Quantify the Costs: Explore the financial, emotional, and cultural toll of bias—and how to counteract it.
  • Take Action: Learn how to address bias effectively, whether in your workplace, community, or personal life.

Who Should Enroll?

This course is perfect for those ready to confront challenges and make meaningful change:

  • Professionals: Navigate workplace dynamics shaped by bias with confidence and clarity.
  • Leaders: Foster collaboration and innovation by championing inclusion.
  • Community Builders: Create spaces of belonging that inspire connection and growth.
  • Changemakers: Replace outdated patterns with habits rooted in compassion and clarity.

The Cost of Inaction

Bias won’t go away on its own. Choosing not to act risks perpetuating exclusion, damaging your reputation, and limiting your potential. In a world that demands inclusivity, the time to break barriers is now.

About Breaking Bias

Imagine a world without bias. A world where all human beings can truly be just as they are and unleash their full potential. Take a moment to imagine how you feel in such a world—not what you think about it, or whether you believe it's possible, but how you feel.

This is the proposition that opens the bestselling Breaking Bias. It’s your invitation to embark on a journey that will radically change your experience and show you how you, in turn, can help reshape our world.

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.
