Daniel Pink
“If you haven’t picked up a copy of Dr. Eberhardt’s incredible book “Biased,” it is an absolute must read. | Today?s recommendation is a staggering book that examines the science of ?us and them? ? particularly when it comes to race. Implicit bias is pernicious, but it?s not inevitable. Eberhardt shows what everyone can do to reduce bias, to widen the circle of who constitutes ?us.?”

Consider Outliers by Malcolm Gladwell. Recommended by 31 sources.
“Outliers reads like a series of captivating magazine profiles, each unpacking a hidden factor behind extraordinary success. Gladwell’s storytelling makes complex social science accessible, but the book relies on memorable anecdotes rather than offering systematic analysis. The book explores the idea that individual brilliance rarely stands alone; success often hinges on birth dates, cultural legacies, and the 10,000-hour rule. While the narratives are strong, the book overgeneralizes from handpicked examples, leaving skeptical readers questioning the conclusions. It’s most useful as a conversation starter about luck and timing—annoying if you want a rigorous academic treatise or a how-to guide for your own life.”
