Thinking in Shadows: The Psychology of Bias and Blind Spots
Fay Jackson
This audiobook is narrated by a digital voice.
We like to think of ourselves as rational, fair, and objective—but the truth is more complex.
In Thinking in Shadows, psychologist Fay Jackson uncovers the hidden biases and mental blind spots that shape how we see the world—and ourselves. From unconscious prejudice to cognitive distortions, Jackson explains the subtle ways our minds filter reality, often without us even realizing it.
With clarity and compassion, this book invites readers to confront uncomfortable truths about human thinking—while offering tools for greater awareness, empathy, and change. Grounded in research and rich with real-world insight, Thinking in Shadows shines a light on the patterns we don’t see—until we do.
You can’t change what you can’t see. This is where seeing begins.
