Jessica Nordell on Tackling Unconscious Bias in Everyday Life
“We might believe that we're people who treat others with fairness and justice and respect, but because we've absorbed so many toxic ideas in our culture, we can react in ways that really conflict with those values, and it can be extremely harmful for others and for ourselves.”
Ever wondered how deeply unconscious bias affects our lives? In this episode of 'The One You Feed', host Eric Zimmer chats with Jessica Nordell, an award-winning author and science writer. Jessica, known for her book *The End of Bias: A Beginning: The Science and Practice of Overcoming Unconscious Bias*, dives into the hidden ways bias shapes our interactions and decisions.
Drawing from her extensive research and personal experiences, Jessica breaks down what bias is and how it operates beneath our awareness. She shares practical strategies like empathy training and mindfulness to help us recognize and counteract these ingrained prejudices. Through thoughtful conversation, Eric and Jessica explore the importance of seeing people as individuals rather than stereotypes. This episode is a must-listen for anyone looking to understand and reduce the impact of unconscious bias in their daily life.
