Description
Anu Gupta is the author of Breaking Bias (Hay House 2024) with a foreword from His Holiness the Dalai Lama. Trained as a lawyer, scientist, and meditation teacher, he is a sought after speaker and bias expert. In 2014, he founded BE MORE with Anu, an e-learning company that trains professionals across corporate, nonprofit, and government sectors to advance inclusion and belonging by breaking bias.
He has trained 80,000+ professionals in mindfulness-based tools impacting over 30 million lives. As a queer immigrant of color, he became a dedicated meditation practitioner after almost ending his life due to lifelong experiences with racism, homophobia, and Islamophobia. The realization that bias is learned and can be unlearned helped lead him out of that dark point and inspired a lifelong mission to build a global movement for social healing based on principles of mindfulness and compassion.
A student of Buddhism and Kriya Yoga, Anu also trained as a meditation and yoga teacher and has spent over 10,000 hours on silent retreats in the US and Asia. He is a lifetime fellow of the Mind & Life Institute and an active member of the B Corp and Penn State Law’s Antiracist Development Institute networks. He is a graduate of NYU School of Law, University of Cambridge, and NYU. He lives in New York City with his partner and their two dozen plants.
