Most books about bias are written by someone standing safely outside the subject, pointing at other people. Everybody's Prejudiced does the opposite. Richard Lowe opens by putting his own prejudices on the table, named plainly and owned without excuse, because a book on this subject earns the right to ask hard questions only if the author goes first.

From that confession the book builds an argument rather than an accusation. Lowe examines how bias forms, what childhood installs, how experience gets mistaken for evidence, and the stories people use to license the preferences they would rather not call by their real name. He follows it into the places it operates, hiring, medicine, lending, and policing, including the bias you would defend in public and the one you never would. Then he turns to what can actually be done: how to examine a belief you hold, the difference between changing and performing change, and how to live with what you cannot fully remove.

Drawn from thirty-three years in corporate America and the hiring rooms that came with it, the book refuses every comfortable conclusion. It offers no reassurance that you are one of the good ones, defends no political position, and lets nobody opt out. It is for readers willing to examine their own prejudices before anyone else's, and to read four hundred pages that do not flatter them. 411 pages across 33 chapters.
