Banaji and Anthony G. Greenwald as they explore the hidden biases we all carry from a lifetime of exposure to cultural attitudes about age, gender, race, ethnicity, religion, social class, sexuality, disability status, and nationality. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\"Blindspot\" is the authors' metaphor for the portion of the mind that houses hidden biases. Writing with simplicity and verve, Banaji and Greenwald question the extent to which our perceptions of social groups--without our awareness or conscious control--shape our likes and dislikes and our judgments about people's character, abilities, and potential. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eIn \u003ci\u003eBlindspot, \u003c\/i\u003e the authors reveal hidden biases based on their experience with the Implicit Association Test, a method that has revolutionized the way scientists learn about the human mind and that gives us a glimpse into what lies within the metaphoric blindspot. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe title's \"good people\" are those of us who strive to align our behavior with our intentions. The aim of \u003ci\u003eBlindspot\u003c\/i\u003e is to explain the science in plain enough language to help well-intentioned people achieve that alignment. By gaining awareness, we can adapt beliefs and behavior and \"outsmart the machine\" in our heads so we can be fairer to those around us. Venturing into this book is an invitation to understand our own minds. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eBrilliant, authoritative, and utterly accessible, \u003ci\u003eBlindspot\u003c\/i\u003e is a book that will challenge and change readers for years to come. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003ePraise for \u003ci\u003eBlindspot\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\"Conversational . . . easy to read, and best of all, it has the potential, at least, to change the way you think about yourself.\"\u003cb\u003e--Leonard Mlodinow, \u003ci\u003eThe New York Review of Books\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \"Banaji and Greenwald deserve a major award for writing such a lively and engaging book that conveys an important message: Mental processes that we are not aware of can affect what we think and what we do. \u003ci\u003eBlindspot\u003c\/i\u003e is one of the most illuminating books ever written on this topic.\"\u003cb\u003e--Elizabeth F.

Banaji teaches at Harvard University, Greenwald at the University of Washington.
