Introduction: Good-ish people -- Part I: Builders activate a growth mindset -- Stumbling upward -- One of the "good guys" -- If you are not part of the problem, you cannot be part of the solution -- Part II: Builders see and use their ordinary privilege -- Knowing it when you don't see it -- The power of ordinary privilege -- Part III: Builders opt for willful awareness -- Keep your eyes open, anyway -- Look out for these four "good" intentions -- Part IV: Builders engage -- Be inclusive -- Steer the conversation -- Educate and occasionally confront others -- Show meaningful support.

Many of us believe in equality, diversity, and inclusion, but how do we stand up for those values in our turbulent world? Chugh reveals the surprising causes of inequality, and offers practical tools to respectfully and effectively talk politics with family, to be a better colleague to people who don't look like you, and to avoid being a well-intentioned barrier to equality. Being the person we mean to be starts with a look at ourselves. --Adapted from the jacket.
