Author and mindfulness teacher Anu Gupta shares how insight meditation (Vipassanā) can help us unhook from the false narratives and unwholesome emotions that fuel division and disconnection. Drawing from his book Breaking Bias and two decades of scientific and contemplative study, Anu offers guided practices and reflections to transform the roots of prejudice and disconnection to create possibilities of personal and social healing.
