Intro to Breaking Bias Foundations
This short, free course is for anyone committed to healing division and breaking bias—in their organizations, communities, and within themselves.
The world won’t change until we do.
This is your invitation to begin — to shift from awareness to action, from fear to connection, and from silence to courage.
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 Intro to Breaking Bias Foundations, you’ll begin to gain the tools and insights to identify, understand, and challenge bias—both in yourself and in the systems around you.
Who Should Enroll?
This free, foundational course is for people who want to do the inner and outer work of healing division and breaking bias—starting with themselves.
Whether you're navigating tough dynamics at work, building more inclusive spaces, or simply wanting to show up with more compassion and clarity, this course offers tools to help you move from intention to real, lasting change.
- Professionals: Navigate challenging conversations and workplace bias with greater confidence.
- Leaders: Foster real inclusion that fuels collaboration and innovation.
- Community Builders: Create spaces of safety, belonging, and trust.
- Changemakers: Let go of outdated patterns and practice new habits rooted in presence and compassion.
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.

Testimonials
Diana Gasperoni, LCSW-R
“This was the best deep dive into Breaking Bias, I have been in. I have taken many courses on unconscious bias and cultural competency and this one was the kindest and most comprehensive course I have taken.”
Keedra McNeill, MD
“This course provided an extensive background on the origins of race in America and how the systems which oppress came to be. Through this understanding, guided self reflection, and interactions with colleagues in the course, I feel as though I can continue the process of self learning to break my own biases and hopefully bring this learning to my institution as well.”
Mordy Walfish
“This course was an incredibly eye-opening experience and Anu is an incredible teacher. The course seamlessly wove together the personal, professional, institutional, societal and historical -- such an important approach to tackling racial bias. I appreciated all of the tools and the optimistic approach.”
Amina AlTai
“Anu's course on breaking racial bias is incredible! As a scientist and educator, he is second to none and his deep knowledge and wisdom is expressed throughout the course. I learned so much and was able to apply the content in my work right away. I'm so grateful for this offering and will be signing up for the next training.”
Lia Avellino, LCSW
“I feel more hopeful, energized and connected to myself after taking this course. I believe I have the tools to do more heart work within myself as well as impact organizational change. Anu and the course tools allowed me to soften and open up. I feel immense gratitude!”
Rachel Davis
“I learned so much from this course with Anu. His approach of combining mindfulness practices with education and sharing of experiences was really powerful to be a part of - I found myself feeling challenged, nourished, encouraged, overwhelmed, and so much more throughout this course. I would wholeheartedly recommend this to anyone interested in learning more about bias and how to change ourselves so that we can improve society.”

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.
