Overcoming Bias Habits - An Evidence-Based Guide to Creating a Joyfully Inclusive World

Introducing Our Journey: Bias Habits and Diverse Joy

This introductory chapter of Dr. Cox’s book will include the following sections:

  • A Bit About Me

  • Some Instructions and Guidance

  • Features of Bias Habit-Breaking Skills

The “A Bit About Me” section will include background information about Dr. William Taylor Laimaka Cox; and “Some Instructions and Guidance” isn’t “instructions” but a way to understand what you’ll be reading.

Also, when other readers start sharing their own examples of how they’ve used the book’s content through our submission page, we will share those anonymized examples on the pages for the corresponding chapters. 

Season 3 of the Diverse Joy podcast, which releases October 2025-November 2026 was designed to match the chapters of the book. Season 3, Episode 1 corresponds to this intro chapter and chapter 1. 

Also, the first episode of every season covers an aspect of why joy is important to diversity and bias reduction efforts, which makes for great supplemental listening, related to the topic of “creating a joyfully inclusive world.”

Episodes of Diverse Joy relevant to the introduction of Overcoming Bias Habits include:
