Unveiling the pervasive effects of unconscious biases.

"Biased" isn't just eye-opening—it's crucial for understanding how our unspoken prejudices shape everything from our personal relationships to societal structures. It's written by Jennifer Eberhardt, a respected social psychologist, who doesn't just point out problems but offers a beacon of hope towards overcoming our implicit biases. Reading this is a step towards not only self-awareness but also collective progress.

Description

Every day, unconscious biases affect our visual perception, attention, memory and behaviour in ways that are subtle and very difficult to recognise without in-depth scientific studies. In a single interaction, they might slip by unnoticed. Over thousands of interactions, they become a huge and powerful force. Jennifer Eberhardt is a pioneering social psychologist and one of the world's leading experts on unconscious bias. In this landmark book, she lays out how these biases affect every sector of society, leading to enormous disparities from the classroom to the courtroom to the boardroom. But unconscious bias is not a sin to be condemned. It's a universal human condition, and as Eberhardt shows, one that can – and must – be overcome.
