Books by Dolly Chugh
“Most of us would like to think that we are good people. We believe we are objective, fair, ethical, nice, thoughtful, and considerate. To preserve this view of ourselves, we might overlook our own shortcomings. Just as it is difficult to admit to our flaws, it’s difficult to admit to our biases. We don’t want to think that our ethics may be flawed. This book reveals the ways in which we are not perfect. We may not be as good as we believe ourselves to be, because we all have these implicit forces at work within us. We all are biased in certain ways.
