New DEI Book for the Individuals

BOSTON - March 3, 2026 - PRLog -- Recently, there have been many conversations and news stories about diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI), but most dialogue has focused on organizations: whether they are invested in DEI or retreating. A new book titled Self-Guide to DEI: Understanding Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion at the Workplace focuses solely on the individual.

Using simple prompts instead of complex theories, the book guides readers through their own workplace experiences and how those experiences may differ from others. It meets readers where they are and, without judgment, helps them understand workplace dynamics and make work more comfortable and successful for everyone.

"While the book is only 64 pages, it took two years to write. It is meant to be a conversation between the reader and myself," says the author, Su Joun. "It seeks to simplify and de-mystify equity, equality, inclusion, psychological safety, belonging, and diversity one person at a time. After all, DEI is personal, not political. It is about people, not politics."

Su Joun draws on decades of senior leadership experience across industries and consulting with hundreds of organizations to increase workforce success and emotional safety. Self-Guide to DEI brings together real voices and stories from thousands of professionals she has met, offering readers an authentic way to explore identity, empathy, and everyday actions that make work more fair and inclusive.

Early feedback includes:

It's simple, clean, and rings of truth. This workbook is low lift, high impact.
The book provides great "small actions for big impact" that can change daily behaviors and inspire others.
This book is thought-provoking and more interesting than expected.
This should be required reading for managers and those seeking career growth. Many want to be equitable and inclusive, yet the defunding of employer DEI programs has left workers unable to advance their understanding and skills.

Self-Guide to DEI: Understanding Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion at the Workplace is now available on Amazon, Barnes & Noble, Bookshop.org, and other bookstore sites.
