Description
Named a Best Book of the Year by World Economic Forum, Aarp, Greater Good, and Inc.
The End of Bias is a transformative, groundbreaking exploration into how we can eradicate unintentional bias and discrimination, the great challenge of our age.
Unconscious bias: persistent, unintentional prejudiced behavior that clashes with our consciously held beliefs. We know that it exists, to corrosive and even lethal effect. We see it in medicine, the workplace, education, policing, and beyond. But when it comes to uprooting our prejudices, we still have far to go. With nuance, compassion, and 10 years' immersion in the topic, Jessica Nordell weaves gripping stories with scientific research to reveal how minds, hearts, and behaviors change. She scrutinizes diversity training, deployed across the land as a corrective but with inconsistent results. She explores what works and why: the diagnostic checklist used by doctors at Johns Hopkins Hospital that eliminated disparate treatment of men and women; the preschool in Sweden where teachers found ingenious ways to uproot gender stereotyping; the police unit in Oregon where the practice of mindfulness and specialized training has coincided with a startling drop in the use of force. Captivating, direct, and transformative, The End of Bias: A Beginning brings good news. Biased behavior can change; the approaches outlined here show how we can begin to remake ourselves and our world.

Okay Book Hampered by Terrible Audio Editing
It's okay if you're interested in the study of unconscious bias. The newer, more interesting stuff promised by the title doesn't come until the last quarter, and the first 3/4 is pretty obvious, mainstream stuff almost anyone would know nowadays. It also feels like the author was very careful to only include examples of biases that a mainstream, western audience would be super comfortable addressing, which harshly limits it's value as a text on the subject in my opinion.
However, my main issue with the audiobook isn't to do with it's content. My main issue is that after the first quarter or so, the audio performance completely falls off the edge of the cliff.
The reading itself isn't horrible per se, it just feels like reader (in this case the author) doing a first pass of the entire text, along with all the weird pauses and stops you'd expect when reading a large text aloud for the first time with no editing. You don't realize how unusual it is to hear a audiobook narrator catching their breath or fumbling over a sentence until you hear it multiple times within the same chapter. The early chapters don't have this problem - it honestly feels like they just ran out of time/money for editing/re-takes and rushed out what they had. Not horrible narration in and of itself, just weirdly unprofessional. This low quality persists for the entire audiobook passed a certain point.
It's not completely unlistenable (I managed to finish it), but definitely the most unprofessional sounding recording of the 50+ audiobooks I've listened to on Audible (after the quality drop). If you're interested in the subject matter, I suggest picking up the physical book in this case.
