Download Overcoming Bias: Building Authentic Relationships Across Differences AudioBook Free
Everybody's biased. We all harbor unconscious assumptions that block the way of the good motives and keep us from working harmoniously and effectively with other people. In our increasingly diverse society this is often a real stumbling block. Tiffany Jana and Matthew Freeman - consultants who also are actually a biracial few - argue that ultimately the only path to really get over bias is to target our energy on building romantic relationships. We have to extend our group of trust to include folks who are not the same as us in lots of ways - race, faith, sex, ethnicity, intimate orientation, education, socioeconomic category, and potential. These dissimilarities can enrich our lives and broaden our perspectives. Conquering Bias doesn't advocate setting some kind of friend quota, basically that we look for experiences that problem our presuppositions and expose us to people, ethnicities, and ideas outside of our usual comfort zone. But this also requires some work on ourselves. Through vivid stories, soul-searching representation, and fun (yes, fun!) exercises and activities Jana and Freeman help us become aware of our very own biases, stereotypes, and unacknowledged privileges. This publication offers you everything you need to comprehend bias, discuss it with increased fluency, and get over it which means you can build more robust relationships.
