Biased: Uncovering the Hidden Prejudice That Shapes What We See, Think, and Do by Jennifer L. Eberhardt
This book opened my eyes to how deeply biases affect the way we see patterns in the world. Author Jennifer L. Eberhardt looks at the way racism seeps into the way we see patterns in the world. This book has helped to engrain the deep importance of asking the right kinds of questions of ourselves before forming opinions.
This is a gem of a cookbook organized by season. While every recipe is vegetarian, the resulting dishes include so much depth of flavor and are far from boring. Recipes I’ve made from it recently include miso roasted squash and potatoes, French onion soup, and kale and Brussels sprouts Caesar slaw. The book is also really educational, and Anna breaks down the elements of go-to dishes (like the “perfect” green salad), which is super helpful.
This book is like getting a peek into Justina’s brain. She breaks down her design advice in ways that are so digestible. It’s part travel guide too, which I love. Justine sees beauty in the world I often overlook, and it is a joy to lose yourself in this book.
