Blindspot is one of the most illuminating books ever written on this topic.--Elizabeth F. easy to read, and best of all, it has the potential, at least, to change the way you think about yourself.--Leonard Mlodinow, The New York Review of Books Banaji and Greenwald deserve a major award for writing such a lively and engaging book that conveys an important message: Mental processes that we are not aware of can affect what we think and what we do. . .
Praise for Blindspot Conversational .
Brilliant, authoritative, and utterly accessible, Blindspot is a book that will challenge and change readers for years to come.
Venturing into this book is an invitation to understand our own minds.
By gaining awareness, we can adapt beliefs and behavior and outsmart the machine in our heads so we can be fairer to those around us.
The aim of Blindspot is to explain the science in plain enough language to help well-intentioned People achieve that alignment.
The title\'s Good People are those of us who strive to align our behavior with our intentions.
In Blindspot, the authors reveal Hidden Biases based on their experience with the Implicit Association Test, a method that has revolutionized the way scientists learn about the human mind and that gives us a glimpse into what lies within the metaphoric blindspot.
Writing with simplicity and verve, Banaji and Greenwald question the extent to which our perceptions of social groups--without our awareness or conscious control--shape our likes and dislikes and our judgments about people\'s character, abilities, and potential.
Blindspot is the authors\' metaphor for the portion of the mind that houses Hidden biases.
Greenwald as they explore the Hidden Biases we all carry from a lifetime of exposure to cultural attitudes about age, gender, race, ethnicity, religion, social class, sexuality, disability status, and nationality.

The first step is to turn a Hidden bias into a visible one.
While we may not have much power to eradicate our own prejudices, we can counteract them. . .
