I appreciate how this book talks about bias in different aspects of life both explicit, but mostly implicit. From police brutality and police relations with the community to bias in prisons, schools, neighbourhoods and digital life. It is told with a good blend of scientific studies and personal anecdotes from both the author and people she interviewed.
Fascinating summary of psychological research in a variety of areas that affect everyone. This book is really well written and definitely worth the time, although it is not exactly what I'd call a "fun" read.
Dr. Eberhardt packs a lot of insightful information, research, and interviews into a narrative that's easy to follow and understand. She does a great job showing how implicit bias shapes lives in ways that are easily missed, yet they affect people a great deal. Reading this made me more interested in the ways that I can identify biases, reflect on my own, and understand how to deal with situations that involve bias.
Went over how everyone is biased and that it doesn’t mean you are racist but that you have to be aware of your biases and how that affects other people.

With it's narrow focus, this book prompted me to further research a number of topics that proved to be quite interesting (via the citations). It also gave me good context for reflection on my experiences living in Atlanta and Detroit, after being raised in a community with around 0.5% black population.

A book that everyone should read, and think about how we can make society better, particularly those who think that systemic bias does not exist. The book gives a large number of scientifically rigorous studies showing how bias operates and how fairly simple, but important measures can be used to counter it.
All the stats and research you need to locate bias in the workplace and in practice. Dr. Eberhardt's research and personal anecdotes convincingly outline how implicit and explicit bias filters into everyday existence. This will be my go-to tool when discussing research showcasing the existence of bias in North America.
