Here are some key takeaways from this episode:
My Excitement about Whistling Vivaldi:
“There’s a short list of books that I regularly recommend to people or give as gifts to people I know or to those I’m meeting for the first time. I’ve given this book to so many people that I have met in my life and it’s probably the one that I’ve seen have the biggest impact on those I’ve given it to.”
The Importance of Whistling Vivaldi:
“This book is important because it takes a phenomenon that we think we know understand: stereotypes and it really explains the complexity in a simple and easy to access way, using examples that we can all relate to.”
How we all “Whistle Vivaldi”
“Understanding the influence of stereotypes was essential and is still a core part of the work I do now. Especially because we all “whistle Vivaldi” in one-way or another”
