Blind Spot: Hidden Biases of Good People

Mahzarin R. Banaji and Anthony G. Greenwald

Dont Buy This Book Now! The Art of Procrastination

John Perry
A splendid way to avoid ones work Ben Schott, author of Schotts Original Miscellany
Are you someone who likes to put off until tomorrow what you could do today? Do you draw up to-do lists, only to get frustrated that you arent able to follow them through? This delightful book argues that procrastinators are often perfectionists and structured procrastinating is extremely effective. The procrastinators greatest gift is the chance to accomplish surprising, wonderful things by not sticking to a rigid schedule. John Perry, an emeritus professor of philosophy at Stanford University, is the author of a number of books on the subject of philosophy of language and mind. He also runs the famous Structured Procrastination blog. Written with wry humour and peppered with a wealth of insights, Dont Buy This Book Now! proposes an ingenious programme for getting things done by putting them off; its a must-read for anyone who has ever accused themselves of being a slacker.

How do we overcome our biases and make better decisions?

Blindspot is the authors metaphor for the part of the mind that houses hidden biases. Writing with simplicity and verve, Banaji and Greenwald question the extent to which our perceptions of social groupswithout our awareness or conscious controlshape our judgements about people. In Blindspot, the authors reveal hidden biases through hands-on experience with the Implicit Association Test, a method that has revolutionized the way scientists learn about the human mind. By gaining awareness, they argue, we can adapt and change our beliefs and behaviour, and outsmart the machine in our heads.

Mahzarin R. Banaji and Anthony G. Greenwald have been collaborators for more than thirty years. Banaji teaches at Harvard University, Greenwald at the University of Washington. With their colleague Brian Nosek, they are co-developers of the Implicit Association Test, a method that transformed them, their research and their field of inquiry.
