Anu Gupta

Anu Gupta is an award-winning author, educator, lawyer, scientist, and mindfulness teacher. His bestselling book, Breaking Bias(2024), features a foreword from the Dalai Lama and offers mindfulness-based tools to heal from bias, trauma, and disconnection. 


As a queer immigrant of color, he came to the work of Breaking Bias® 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. 


Anu has lived, studied, and worked globally, which informs his unique perspective on how different forms of biases use the same neural mechanism to create inequities and inefficiencies in different organizational and cultural contexts. Anu founded BE MORE in 2014.
