Daisy recently spoke with Anu Gupta -- scientist, educator, lawyer, avid meditator and the Founder of BE MORE with Anu. His work in the Wild “Wellness” World seeks to dissolve racial bias with mindfulness and empathy. To date, Anu has shared his method with over 20k professionals through workshops and courses plus via keynote presentations on the TED stage, at SXSW and on The Oprah Conversation.
In this episode, Daisy and Anu unpack his compassion-backed, science-backed approach to breaking the bias cycle as “bias is just a habit of thought.” They discuss the potency of shifting from the head to the heart, the intention to establish wellBEING versus wellness (especially in terms of identity), and how simple, consistent mindfulness practices allow you to move away from reactivity and towards awareness. The next BE MORE cohort begins March 11 2021.
