Foreword by Laszlo Bock, the bestselling author of Work Rules! and former Senior Vice President of People Operations at Google. An inspiring guide from Dolly Chugh, an award-winning social psychologist at the New York University Stern School of Business, on how to confront difficult issues including sexism, racism, inequality, and injustice so that you can make the world (and yourself) better. Many of us believe in equality, diversity, and inclusion. But how do we stand up for those values in our turbulent world? The Person You Mean to Be is the smart, "semi-bold" person's guide to fighting for what you believe in. Dolly 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. She 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. Whether 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.

I give some serious kudos to a book that made me rethink some of my long standing beliefs. For example, Dolly Chugh made the best argument I've heard for slave reparations and really made me rethink my blind spots to my own privileges.
I would call this book disturbing, in a great way. Yeah, my head is now less clear with the waters muddier ... and makes me doubt if it's possible to be a good, or goodish person. I get that ideally we should be looking at each person at humans with their own battles with demons and prejudices ... but how would we ever get anything done?
For example, just trying to choose a lunch at a restaurant for hundred people to agree on. How to deal with vegetarians, allergies, religious choices, price range .... and that doesn't just involve people who just don't like certain foods / restaurants. If we listen to each person's story individually, we would probably all starve. Somebody is going to get marginalized.
So I kept going back to two TV Shows that the family is watching now. There's the Good Place which I think is one of my top 10 shows ever ... and how it's so difficult to get to the good place because the world is so much more complicated nowadays ... and Grownish with one character saying ... maybe we should all get used to being a little uncomfortable (marginalized)?
