Unintentional bias is one of the great social problems of our time; its effects are corrosive, even lethal. But it can be overcome. Here's how.
Shortlisted for the Royal Society Science Book Prize
Bias affects us all, every day of our lives. It shapes how we see each other, and how we are seen in turn. It fuels discrimination on the basis of sex, gender, race, age, class and appearance. It robs organizations of talent, science of breakthroughs, politics of insight, individuals of their future and communities of justice.
But what if bias is a habit that we can overcome?
"Despite revolutions in our understanding of bias, we're still much better at documenting the problem than solving it. When it comes to prevention and cure, Jessica Nordell's powerful book is a breakthrough. With state-of-the-art science and gripping narratives, she reveals steps what individuals, groups, and institutions can take to fight prejudice" - Adam Grant, author of Think Again

Jessica Nordell is a journalist, award-winning radio producer and writer who studied at Harvard University and the University of Wisconsin-Madison, and now lives in Minneapolis. As a young journalist, her newfound success at landing pitches under her initials, rather than her full name, sparked her fascination with unconscious bias. Since then, her groundbreaking work has appeared in the Atlantic, New Republic and New York Times, among other publications. The End of Bias is her first book.
