Whistling Vivaldi: And Other Clues to How Stereotypes Affect Us by Claude M. Steele

3.0

I appreciated he Steele made his research accessible in Whistling Vivaldi. This book looked at how stereotypes have a greater impact on our performance than we think, especially if that stereotype is negative, "women are not good at math." It made me think of the stereotypes we carry about ourselves and others and how it affects our interactions. I found the last section a bit hard to follow. Even if you are not a social psychologist like Steele I would still recommend this book if you are curious about stereotypes and the intersection of performance.
