Find out how author Soo Bong Peer is changing the way our nation perceives diversity to bring people together.
The Essential Diversity Mindset by Soo Bong Peer offers a transformative approach to diversity – as a mindset, not as a formula. Soo poignantly depicts, through personal experiences that span cultures, time, places, and businesses, the human dynamics that connect and divide people. The book speaks about the intricacies that underlie the unintended consequences of America’s years of diversity efforts – racial labeling, political correctness, distrust, and anger that are tearing the country apart.
The Essential Diversity Mindset addresses fundamental questions: Why are racial tensions in America on the rise in spite of the great deal of attention that has been given to promoting diversity for decades? What is diversity in an environment that is increasingly becoming more multiracial and multicultural? What needs to change?
