Description

We are certain we are 'one' person, not a thousand different selves reacting unconsciously to thousands of different stimuli. Everyday Bias is an important guide to seeing oneself the way others might. - Ken Burns, filmmaker

To be human is to be biased. From this simple truth, nationally recognised diversity expert Howard J. Ross explores the biases we each carry within us. Incorporating anecdotes from today’s headlines alongside case studies from over 30 years of diversity consulting, Ross helps readers understand how unconscious bias impacts our day-to-day lives and, particularly, our daily work lives.

He answers the question: “Is there anything we can do about it?” by providing examples of behaviours that the reader can engage in to disengage the impact of their own biases. Originally published in 2014, the updated edition draws new examples from today’s headlines, such as the #MeToo Movement, police shootings, and bias in the ever-more-partisan Trump era.
