The End of Bias: A Beginning

The Science and Practice of Overcoming Unconscious Bias

De: Jessica Nordell

Narrado por: Jessica Nordell

Named a Best Book of the Year by World Economic Forum, Aarp, Greater Good, and Inc.

The End of Bias is a transformative, groundbreaking exploration into how we can eradicate unintentional bias and discrimination, the great challenge of our age.

Unconscious bias: persistent, unintentional prejudiced behavior that clashes with our consciously held beliefs. We know that it exists, to corrosive and even lethal effect. We see it in medicine, the workplace, education, policing, and beyond. But when it comes to uprooting our prejudices, we still have far to go. With nuance, compassion, and 10 years' immersion in the topic, Jessica Nordell weaves gripping stories with scientific research to reveal how minds, hearts, and behaviors change. She scrutinizes diversity training, deployed across the land as a corrective but with inconsistent results. She explores what works and why: the diagnostic checklist used by doctors at Johns Hopkins Hospital that eliminated disparate treatment of men and women; the preschool in Sweden where teachers found ingenious ways to uproot gender stereotyping; the police unit in Oregon where the practice of mindfulness and specialized training has coincided with a startling drop in the use of force. Captivating, direct, and transformative, The End of Bias: A Beginning brings good news. Biased behavior can change; the approaches outlined here show how we can begin to remake ourselves and our world.

Important book that uses current research

I appreciated that each section had a good balance of narrative and research to support ideas

My complaint is that the author should have used a professional as her inexperience is apparent throughout the audiobook which might be distracting for others

A great introduction to unconscious bias

I liked this book because it provided a great introduction to the landscape of unconscious bias.

Good time to have conversation

Difficult topic but critical and needed conversation. Much information and must-read for nation now. Some successful programs from around the world . Author is the reader / narrator.

Love this book!

This book was exceptional in laying out the mindset, psychological, and practical ways we express bias and how it can be effected on a large scale. So fantastic as a reference and practical application inspiration. Thank you!

An important read.

This text should be required reading for all adults in the US. Nordell offers us multiple paths for better understanding and relating with the members of the communities we interact with daily.
