130. Dr. Dolly Chugh — A More Just Future: Psychological Tools for Reckoning With Our Past and Driving Social Change

The Game Changing Attorney Podcast with Michael Mogill

Why are human beings determined to be good people? Why are we interested in being ethically and morally right? And more importantly, why are we so prone to going off track? If we are so righteous, why is there so much hate and bias in the world?

Dr. Dolly Chugh, Social Psychologist and Management Professor at the New York University Stern School of Business, has dedicated her life to answering these existential questions. Her research focuses on “bounded ethicality,” which she describes as the “psychology of good people.”

On this episode of The Game Changing Attorney Podcast, Dolly and Michael dive into:

• How to let go of being a good person, and how to become a better person
• How to fight race and gender bias
• How to become the person we mean to be
