Sinopse

“Finally: an engaging, evidence-based book about how to battle biases, champion diversity and inclusion, and advocate for those who lack power and privilege. Dolly Chugh makes a convincing case that being an ally isn’t about being a good person—it’s about constantly striving to be a better person.”  —Adam Grant, New York Times bestselling author of Give and Take, Originals, and Option B with Sheryl Sandberg 
 
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.

    A serial entrepreneur offers a plan for launching successful ventures About ninety-seven percent of a rocket' s fuel is used in the first three feet of its launch. The same is true in launching a new business, product, or service. Those first few steps are absolutely critical. Scott Duffy has developed a practical approach for turning your big idea into a thriving venture by focusing on the crucial period immediately before, during, and after opening your doors (literally or online). His approach is based on his experiences working with top entrepreneurs like Tony Robbins and Richard Branson, who taught him how to balance the two key sides of entrepreneurship: * The personal side, including personal finances, relationships, and health. * The business side, including raising capital, building teams, establishing partnerships, and closing sales. Duffy also draws on the true stories of other big names, such as Howard Schultz, Lou Holtz, and MC Hammer, to offer guidance on turning your vision into a full-fledged enterprise.

    Debacle - Obama's War on Jobs...

    During the 2008 presidential campaign, Obama promised time after  time "a net spending cut" to make government smaller in order to  cut the deficit. But the huge increase in government spending and  debt, and the resulting higher future taxes will make America a  poorer country. The Congressional Budget Office estimates that the  deficits that President Obama proposes for the years from 2011  through 2020 come to a staggering $126,000 per family of four. That  is on top of the $35,000 per family already chalked up under the  first two years of Obama's administration. But has all the new  government been worth it? Are Americans happier because the  government has determined where this money should be spent? The  answer is clearly no.   Obama's economic policies have raised unemployment, slowed  economic growth, dramatically raised the national debt, squandered  taxpayer money through poor investments, and further damaged the  housing market. The economy will eventually grow, though slowly.  The No Tax Pledge will explain why Obama's policies on  spending, taxes, regulation have all worked to harm the recovery,  increased unemployment, and depressed housing prices. This debate  is part of a broader debate over Keynesian economics most notably  involving Paul Krugman in the New York Times. The authors  plan on dissecting these arguments and explaining why Keynesianism  represents more a way of transferring wealth to desired political  constituencies than it provides a legitimate economic theory for  how the economy operates.
