In her career as a social psychologist and Stanford University professor, Dr. Jennifer L. Eberhardt has dedicated herself to researching and teaching about implicit bias, the unconscious attribution of particular qualities to members of a social group. Biased: Uncovering the Hidden Prejudice That Shapes What We See, Think, and Do aims to reveal the many surprising ways that implicit bias affects all sorts of decisions we make during the normal course of our lives—the homes we buy, the people we hire, the way we treat our neighbors. But just as importantly, the book highlights that neither our evolutionary path nor our present culture dooms us to be held hostage by these biases. Change is possible—it simply requires an open-minded attention that is well within our reach.

We spend our lives competing with people who apply to the same colleges, send résumés to the same jobs, and vie for the same promotions. We can’t afford to fall behind by focusing on unrelated pursuits—it’s a waste of time. At least, that’s what we’ve been taught.

But David Epstein’s Range: Why Generalists Triumph in a Specialized World contends that we’ve had it all wrong. Our personalities, along with our skills and passions, change significantly over time, and we rarely discover what roles feel right until we actually try them. So it’s not just difficult to stick to a single long-term plan—it’s ill-advised. Combining cutting-edge social science and a knack for captivating storytelling, Epstein explains why we should stop stressing about getting off-track, and instead feel free to pursue the full spectrum of our interests. By taking unexpected detours and exploring unrelated areas, we arrive at exactly where we’re meant to be.

We hope you join us for the next season!
