This book coincides with a momentous period of world events. While the seeds of hatred, long sprouted, have burgeoned into plump but rotten fruits, the collective psyche is looking for answers. But none of us is innocent. We all contribute in subtle, conscious, and unconscious ways to the dilemma. Nor should we hang our heads in shame. Stereotype Factor takes us through a journey of self-examination, introspection, and reflection to see how we subscribe to beliefs and practices in our everyday lives and how this awareness can help us look in the mirror to improve our daily interactions. This book crafts a tool for understanding the origins, mechanisms, and functions of stereotypes. It then challenges us to dig deeper within ourselves to live more nobly, more honestly, by offering a touchstone for everyone interested in contributing to a harmonious world.
