III Books to help you unlearn your inner unconscious bias.

We’ve put together our top three reading picks to help you unlearn your inner unconscious bias in the workplace and in our day-to-day lives.

Unconscious biases are beliefs, assumptions, and stereotypes regarding different groups of people. They can be classified as mental short-cuts that can be harmful to peers and even strangers. Everyone has their own biases, and we can all work toward dismantling our own.

Venturing into this book is an invitation to understand our own minds.”
