"For years, I have been studying common glitches in human reasoning known as biases, and so I picked up with real interest this new book on the subject by social psychologist Erin Devers. I learned something valuable and new on the first page, and I finished the book as a fan of Professor Devers' work. If you want to be right (as opposed to wrong) and you want to have valid reasons to feel good about yourself, The Unbiased Self can really help you."

-Brian D. McLaren, author of Faith After Doubt and Do I Stay Christian?

"The Unbiased Self explores the cognitive processes behind bias and the role of faith in guiding individuals to confront and reduce these biases to achieve a more truthful understanding of the self. The book is intellectually rigorous and spiritually enriching, and the result is a valuable resource for students, researchers, and practitioners interested in the intersection of faith and psychology."

-Joshua Clarkson, professor of marketing at the Lindner College of Business at the University of Cincinnati

"From the first pages, The Unbiased Self convinced me that our dual needs—(1) to be right and (2) to feel good about ourselves—drive cognitive bias! Dr. Devers highlights how faith in God offers a more fulfilling way to meet these needs and thus shed our biases. The book blends fascinating social psychology research with relevant news stories and hilarious anecdotes. I found myself discussing its central ideas with friends and family right away and implementing its practical strategies to turn to God to 'hack' my thinking. Reading it, I felt joyous, grateful, and deeply humbled!"

-Ji Son, professor of psychology at Cal State LA

"Some books keep you to the end, and others long after. Dr. Devers presents us with such a read—one that will have us turning pages for years after we close its covers. But of course, I'm biased, having been a fan of her work for many years."

-Jerry A. Pattengale, university professor at Indiana Wesleyan University
